These will be the last photos of the Hamers. By the way, their name is pronounced exactly like the tool: "hammer." I have no idea why the generally accepted standard spelling is the way it is.

Our old friends from an earlier post. This time, with a different piece of sugar cane, and caught, not posed.


When you get past the beautiful face, notice the scarring on her arms. She had it over lots of her body.


Same woman in profile. This was not posed. I just caught her this way.


Believe it or not, this, and the following pics, were not posed either. The women were engaged in the dancing, and I just walked around photographing the onlookers when they weren't dancing themselves.


A study in concentration.


Last photo of the Hamer. Thanks for looking.

Another good set Mel.Scars could be from tribal scarring which is fairly common throughout sub-Sahara Africa.

So I was so interested, I went back and looked at your other photos . Excellent work, and the info was first rate. My question is , how do you manage to visit all these amazing places? is it for work or do you just enjoy seeing the world.
