Photographing Indigenous People in Ethiopia

Eric Radman, a local event and people photographer based on Mercer Island, recently spent two weeks in Ethiopia, photographing the tribes of the South Omo River Valley, near the South Sudan border. 

Tribal communities in the South Omo River Valley are known for body painting and lip plating, and for ancient traditions, such as bull jumping and stick fighting, which continue to this day.

Radman will present images of his journey, photographing people and open air markets in an interactive, multimedia slideshow.
