Ethiopia, 2006

Going through my Ethiopian contact sheets recently I found some portraits that hadn't previously seen the light of day: the older man was a guard at a church in Lalibela and I think the boy was a monk, living on an island in the middle of Lake Tana; the third chap was a shepherd from the Oromia Region near the Kenyan border. All were taken on Kodak 200 Ultra Colour with a Nikon F100 + 85mm f1.8 that had a pretty weird bokeh when shot wide open. The last image is of the ceiling of the Debre Berhan Sellasie Church near Gondar.
