In November, 2014, Eric Radman spent two weeks in Ethiopia, Africa, photographing the ancient tribes in the South Omo River Valley, near the South Sudan border.

On May 6, he will present images of his journey, the amazing people of Ethiopia, known for their body paintings, lip plates, and ritual ceremonies—still practicing ancient traditions such as Bull Jumping and Stick Fighting.

The event is set for 2 p.m., Wednesday, May 6 at the Mercer Island Presbyterian Church, and is free.

Radman, a Mercer Island photographer, has been shooting photography for over 20 years. He specializes in people and events.
