Is it hard to imagine that we share our huge world with such fascinating and diverse populations? That there are actually people out there who aren’t concerned with the HOA ? or What fashion labels are in this season, what meetings that need to be attended?

Thanks to  YouTube, I have had the pleasure of seeing the most amazing images of the Omo People.   These gorgeous people are  a collection of tribes in the Omo Valley of Ethiopia.  They say their incredible body art is purely spontaneous and for their own pleasure and experimentation!  In seems that in our society, more often than not, we strive to cover most of our bodies and find shame in revealing ourselves.  However, the Omo place emphasis on their selves where our culture would see as offensive.  I think I’m from the wrong clan of people.

Hanz Silvester is the amazing photographer behind these breathtaking photos.   His amazing work can be seen in his latest publication,  Natural Fashion: Tribal Decoration from Africa . These Incredible images and people are so inspiring and just waiting to be explored on a giant canvas with my name on it.
