Photo by @randyolson | words by @neilshea13 — You were braver than the rest. You watched, I put out my hand. It was a dare, a game I played everywhere with kids who’d scrum around us, faces full of questions. Some turned and ran when I moved. Others shrieked and laughed, keeping distance, wary as birds. You stepped forward. Fearless, dressed in beads and dust. Randy caught the moment in the village of Duss, home of the Kara tribe, who became our good friends over many weeks working along the Omo River. I love this image, and partly because I remember so little about it. Usually I’d regret that. Photographs for me are windows, and I like to find and know what’s beyond the frame. But here, forgetting is all right. Her joy accounts for whatever’s missing. It nearly obliterates the need to know more. I remember once watching my niece greet a dog for the first time. She was only slightly younger and did not yet understand the dog or see exactly how or whether it was different. She reached out. Laid a hand on the patient shoulder. Then she smiled up at her father, just like this.

This image is an out-take from our recent Instagram series on Ethiopia’s Omo River and Kenya’s Lake Turkana, where we’ve worked over the last six years documenting culture, change, and conflict. You can see the whole project archived at #NGwatershedstories, and find our features about this region in @ナショナルジオグラフィック magazine.
