People travel through South Ethiopia to visit its unique tribes. The Hamer hold their weekly Monday market in Turmi. Their chance to sell, buy and socialize with friends. The Hamer use a combination of butter and ochre (an iron in soil) to make a red concoction then smeared on their bodies and hair. Scantily dressed in intricately decorated goat skins, beads and shells, they are an incredible sight.
The only drawback? You must pay about 10 cents to photograph them...and that's per click. The Hamers keep an eagle eye on how many times you press the shutter!
