Children of Ethiopia

"The Children of Ethiopia" is a collection that came about after I certainly knew I would not travel within Ethiopia any time soon. I realized that I had photographed many of these bright, young souls on multiple trips to various parts of the countryside. I believe that the rural demographic is more representative of the population. You see the state of the present and potential future of the country in these eyes.

I assure you, dear viewer, that all these shots are taken in good faith with the children's consent. I hope this collection serves as a way of preserving the youthful spirit of these children that embody innocence and maturity.
