While this posting is so very different from my others, I’ve been meaning for quite some time to share some of my images and experiences from past assignments to Ethiopia. But now, given that I am finding myself completely heartbroken by the current, very tragic events in Tigray - where my “journey” began in 1999 (in the midst of another conflict)…I feel its time.
Hard to know where to begin…and my fear is that as soon as I begin sharing, there will be many questions coming my way about the who's, how’s, why’s, what’s, when’s, and where’s of my eight trips to this amazing country…and that this will take time from my end. So I will ask for a bit of patience!
But maybe with these two, very different images - the first which I hope conveys something of the physically breathtaking beauty of Ethiopia, and the second which goes more to the heart, meaning, and ultimate purpose of my efforts…I will begin (prints copied with iPhone, so not great repros…will do better later):
Dembi Dollo, Wollega Province, Leica M-6, 28mm, Ektachrome, E-6
Addis Ababa Orphanage, Leica M-6, 28mm, Tri-X, D-76 1:1
Edit: This last image looks way worse here than even my iPhone copy...not sure why.
