Portrait of a Hamer boy performing the bull jumping (Ethiopia). The bull jumping ceremony is a rite of passage for every young man in the Hamer tribe. The young naked men must run four times across the backs of bulls in front of his village. It is an indisputable test of bravery defining the passage from adolescence to adulthood.

Nice document of the ceremony. I also like it on a formal level with a nice triangle composition.

In fact he really had to jump from the back of the bulls in my direction.
A greeting!
