Photo by Dmitri Markine Photography www.dmitrimarkine.com

Mursi woman with a child.Taken at their village in Ethiopia.
They cut their bottom lip at around puberty and install a clay disk. With time the size of the disk increases. It's believed the tradition started by Mursi tribe to avoid other tribes stealing their women. Basically, they tried to make them look ugly for others. Nowadays it's considered a beautification.

I can't find the words to describe how beautiful it is

~Dubyahater Jan 6, 2013

Very cool! It's awesome to see a breastfeeding image as a DD. I dare say that woman would kick some ass if some idget told her to cover up while nursing. And that's my daily lactivist plug, folks.

Wonderful shot. And I'm a big fan of black and white photos. This really is National Geographic worthy.
