ALL 2013 National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest – in HIGH RESOLUTION. Part II: “Travel Portraits” – Weeks 1-10 (64 Photos)

“Suri Smile”. It took a three-day drive in rugged conditions to meet the Suri tribe. The community is nestled in one of the toughest and most remote places on Earth-the Ethiopia/Sudan border. Despite the harsh conditions, the Suri take great pride and joy in decorating their bodies. This young Suri boy is covered in yellow and red ochre from a creek bed near our camp. These marks of distinction are used to attract women and to intimidate enemies in battle. There is a fascination and almost obsession with appearance. Suri apply the paint using flowers, sticks, bottle tops and cartridge cases. Location: Kibbish, Suri Tribe, Omo Valley, South-West Ethiopia. Africa.
