About photos

Ethiopia is the only country in Africa that has not been colonized. Ethiopia is poor in economy, backward in science and technology, and short of living goods and medicines. The life of primitive tribes is unimaginable, but people living in primitive tribes are very kind, especially the children here are very simple and enthusiastic. Although they live in a poor and primitive environment, the expressions and eyes of these children often reveal their desire for life. My intuition is that although the children here are poor, they do not know how beautiful the outside world is. They also look naive and happy when playing in this primitive environment. I hope my photography can attract more people’s attention and help to the primitive tribes in Africa.
