NWNL photographers Alison Jones and Jane Baldwin returned to the Lower Omo Valley, having already documented the Omo’s flood season, in February when the Omo drops over 45 feet in some places. This is the season for traditional flood recession agriculture. As guests in Hamar, Dassanech and Karo villages, they stayed in tents, traveled by boat and 4WD, and reconnected with previous friends.
