I have photographed Harar in three occasions during the latest three years. It is like doing Street Photography in a Middle Age site after travelling in time to this Ethiopian unique walled city.
Many Hararis migrate to EU or Americas looking for another more comfortable life. I come back to Harar expecting egoistically to continue finding the lively markets around the ancient wall, the colourful hidden alleys in its unique urban plan and the proud gaze of its citizens who struggle between the preservation of their particular traditions and the wish to enrol in this modern globalizing World.
