It was wonderful to speak with John, who is so passionate about not only preserving ancient traditions, but seeing traditional societies adapt to our rapidly changing world.
Our cultural diversity is where our greatest creativity lives…

Explorer Wade Davis on Vanishing Cultures
“There’s a tendency for those of us in the dominant Western culture to view traditional people—even when we’re sympathetic to their plight—as quaint and colorful, but reduced to the sidelines of history, while the real world, which of course is our world, continues moving forward. We see these societies as failed attempts at modernity, as if they’re destined to fade away by some natural law, as if they can’t cope with change. That’s simply not true. Change is the one constant in history. All societies in all times and in all places constantly adapt to new possibilities for life.” The Suri Tribe in the Omo Valley

Traveling in the Omo Valley
“Some people say: “What does it matter if these cultures fade away.” The answer is simple. When asked the meaning of being human, all the diverse cultures of the world respond with 10,000 different voices. Distinct cultures represent unique visions of life itself, morally inspired and inherently right. And those different voices become part of the overall repertoire of humanity for coping with challenges confronting us in the future. As we drift toward a blandly amorphous, generic world, as cultures disappear and life becomes more uniform, we as a people and a species, and Earth itself, will be deeply impoverished.”

“The world in which you were born is just one model of reality. Other cultures are not failed attempts at being you; they are unique manifestations of the human spirit.”

6th Edition of the Pollux Awards – Culture And Daily life – Category Winner
Some good news news for me today. I was a category winner in the prestigious 6th Pollux Award – CULTURE AND DAILY LIFE with two of my new images from Ethiopia. SECOND PRIZE: “Suri Woman of the Omo Valley”, “Hamar Family in the Omo Valley” and I will be invited to Spain to exhibit at the 3rd International Biennial of Documentary and Fine Art Photography to be held in Malaga Spain at the Municipal Museum, opening on September 18th, 2014.
I was amazed by what I saw In the Omo Valley- the mixture of customs – beautiful and brutal in equal measure and am so happy to have the work recognized.
