Omo Valley, Ethiopia<br /> Goite, woman from Hamer Tribe. <br /> This woman is from the Hamer tribe in Ethiopia. You can tell from the metal collar adornment on her neck that she’s married. I was photographing Goite’s husband as he was shooting their cow in the neck with an arrow and bleeding him to mix with milk, a high source of protein in their diet. I turned and she was staring from the dark of her hut. Sometimes the best photo is behind you.
