1/250 f/8.0, ISO 100, hand held. Omo Valley, Ethiopia.

Il destino della valle dell'Omo fu deciso 15 anni fa, quando il governo iniziò a costruire quello che sarebbe stato l'orgoglio dell'Etiopia: Gibe III, l'ambiziosa diga idroelettrica che il mondo intero avrebbe invidiato. Una costruzione controversa che in futuro permetterà l'irrigazione di vaste piantagioni commerciali che stanno nascendo un po ovunque e, allo stesso tempo, un potenziale disastro umanitario per le circa 500.000 persone che vivono lungo il fiume Omo e nei dintorni del lago Turkana. Le organizzazioni per i diritti umani hanno riferito che la diga ha posto fine alle inondazioni stagionali del fiume Omo, da cui le tribù indigene dipendevano direttamente per abbeverare le mandrie e per la coltivazione. Per la maggior parte di queste tribù, adornarsi con pitture, conchiglie, bracciali e piatti a labbro, essenzialmente indossando un "costume" per attirare i turisti, è diventata l'unica forma di sostentamento per sfamare le proprie famiglie.

23 likes at the moment. This shot, which in my opinion is absolutely to be rewarded with the editor's pick, strangely goes almost unnoticed.

Although I am not a lover of the photos built, I can only join the compliments of those who preceded me, especially for the excellent composition and for the flash light. All this thinking also about the difficulties you will surely encounter during the trip.
Bravo!
Francesco

Thank you so much for your precious comments.
I am immensely pleased to read to you.

P.S. I always travel alone and with almost 30kg of equipment below, but I swear that weight and fatigue almost don't make you feel when you're lucky enough to portray people like that.

Where the Western "civilization" comes from destroys ancestral lifestyles..... and we'll pay the consequences.

Four years ago (January 2016) I pitched the tent at the foot of that tree that is seen in the background and with my wife I spent a night in the village. My wife loved it (although we suffered a little hot).
