In November 2017, my family and I drove about an hour from Melbourne to Ballarat. The drive was pleasant and filled with beautiful landscape.
Our main destination was an outdoor museum called Sovereign Hill. As we arrived, we were met with interesting characters from 1850s Australia.
It is definitely a must-see for anyone visiting Victoria, Australia.
Some lovely views I captured while on holiday in Perth, Western Australia in January 2018.
Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to showcase my Timket Celebration: Street Procession photographs to a group of friends and the general public at Afro Hub’s Oh Snap! Gallery Exhibition.
I have always enjoyed telling people about the place I hail from, and this past weekend was a dream. Presenting the beautiful colours, the people, the tradition and culture of Ethiopia through my photos was very exciting!
Visitors showed a lot of interest in the photos I had on display and even went further to purchasing mounts and prints. A number of people mentioned that they learnt something new about Ethiopia, which to me is such great news!
I had a guestbook to capture thoughts and one visitor wrote,
Another entry in my guestbook read,
Thank you so much to all those that came and showed their support!
I am inspired to keep traveling on this path. I have so much to share and there will definitely be more exhibitions in the future. This is just the beginning.
