ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I found this young boy in a smal village in the Omo-valley in Etiopia and when I saw an corrugated-iron shack I tried to explane that I would like to take some images of him in front of this hat and he started to act very fotogenic in front of this corrugated-iron shack with his stick in the hand. It was for me the contrast between the naked boy with traditional bodypainting and the modern world cominc in their world in form of this corrugated-iron shack.

AUTHOR
I work as a doctor and became a passionate and ambitious photographer quite recently.
In 2007 I bought my first digital camera.
The positive reactions to my pictures encouraged me more and more and convinced me that photography is a magnificent way to pass on the richness, uniqueness and beauty of nature to others.
During the last years I visited a lot of countries and continents, but Africa with its exceptionally rich wildlife became my favorite destination.
I am glad that many African countries realized the benefit of nature reserves even transcending national borders and use a regulated eco tourism to maintain these unique wildlife and landscapes.
My aim with my pictures is to illustrate the relationship and interdependency of the animals and their natural environment.
