Finalist Portrait · July 2022
Ethiopia's Omo Valley "The Surma Tribe"
"Stunning" is a word that I ofter don't use. In this particular case, my trip to visit Ethiopia's Omo Valley was not only stunning but strange, otherworldly and almost ancestral. This magical place is know as the "Cradle of Mankind" home of the oldest humanoid fossil, AL-288-1 or Lucy. 3.5 million years after her I went to visit and photograph her descendants. This tribe is know as the Surma Tribe.
