Omo Valley: Vanishing Tribes

My new book will be available on Amazon.com on April 20, 2013

This is a paper back version of my photos of seven different tribes in the Omo Valley, Ethiopia.

The Omo Valley tribes I visited (Mursi, Hamer, Desanesh, Dorze, Konso, Tsemay and Ari) are still very primitive. The people live in one room huts with no electricity or water.

I got my BA in Cultural Anthropology and visiting these tribes was an amazing experience and something I had long dreamed of. I'm planning on returning to make a documentary  about the changes happening in this area because of the influx of foreign agricultural investors to this fertile area.
