Ethiopia's Nomad Warriors: Salgado

Photograph � Sebasti�o Salgado-All Rights Reserved

Rolling Stone magazine published black & white photographs of Ethiopia's Nomad Warriors by Sebasti�o Salgado. The tribes of the Omo Valley such as Hamer, Mursi and the Sumer are featured in this essay of images by a master photographer. In my view, the images are too small to appropriately convey these people's beauty and charisma, and I look forward to perhaps seeing them elsewhere.

A Sebasti�o Salgado quote that always stays with me:

"If you take a picture of a human that does not make him noble, there is no reason to take this picture. That is my way of seeing things."

For a sample of my own images of the Omo Valley tribes, go here.
