Ethiopia Portraits

[Ron Evers]

I agree with the accolades above for your photographic work.

However, if we are to believe the "experts", Ethiopia is where humans originated from & it is hard to understand how it can be so primitive now.

It probably has something to do with the fact that Ethiopia is fairly inhospitable, and fertile grounds and places for civilizations were found elsewhere. Not too hard to understand IMO.

I can tell you why but you may not believe me...

I've witnessed that ethiopians are EXTREMELY apathetic. They have that "I don't care" attitude. They are rather carry 10L of water 5-10km every day than buy say a bicycle and use it for that....or put money together and dig a well.
In restaurants waiters did not care about tips and were very bad.
Hotel owners had the same attitude. You'd come in for a breakfast and they would not have anything except juice and some bread. You'd tell them you can pay anything they ask and they would still not do it.
I shared my thoughts with my guide and he said that it's a huge problem for the country as it's a big issue here. Nobody cares to do more than they absolutely have to.
So, they can improve their living conditions,but they just don't care enough to do it. Of course, that's a generalization,but it's what I observed.

Thank-you for your insightful explanation.

The highlighted makes me think of a union shop.

great shots!
although....even given the nature of the photos, some of them should STILL be in the NSFW section, and not the general public section.

Really Pix????

Its more surprising to me that your surprised. I was under the impression that amount of nudity was supposed to be NSFW. I was unaware that certain applications of nudity were acceptable in the general forum. It was unclear per forum rules. A mod was nice enough to enlighten me on the procedure and I considered it a done deal.

So.... Yes, really.
