Incredible footage. Your trip is the kind of thing that a few hundred years ago would result in some kind of epic story told from one generation to another.


Haha, thanks.

Some days I kick myself for not doing a better job filming the trip so I could put together a proper documentary, and some days I think I should just do it anyway with the footage I have.

I'm also really happy I often just put the cameras away and experienced the place I was in and talked with people. That was the point, after all.


That last part is the reason I hardly have any pictures of my own trips. I'm just too busy to be making pictures all the time and I don't want to be the 'cameraman'. It also tends to immediately mark you as a tourist (though in Ethiopia you would be marked as a tourist anyway but I have never been there).

Some of the most amazing sights I've seen were in Colombia and even if I regret not having pictures I have them in my head and that's good enough. But your trip and your footage are on a different level and I think just as an unadorned record it has immense value.
