Children are adorable where ever you go, but there is something super special about alot of the children that I've been able to meet and photograph in Ethiopia. Maybe its their massive dark eyes, or the mix of depth of responsibility but air of innocence that they excude, and of course I love the open amusement and excitement at seeing themselves or people they know in an images, it's almost addictive watching their little faces change with amusement.
The Simien Mountains. North Ethiopia.

I love the big eyes and bright smiles that shine up at me from so many different faces each day. The Ethiopian people are some of the friendliest and most welcoming I have come across in my travels to date.
