  2. you tried a little bit. but one would have expected you to post pictures of arugba osun , the chief priestess and the chief priest in ABUNDANCE in as much as they are the centres of attraction of the whole event

  3. Interestting images. What’s the purpose of the festival and does it have any symbolic meaning for the people who go there? Is it a yearly event?

    Is it a festival for the people who live in the local area based on tradition and heritage and does it involve the practice of fetish as some of your images suggest? Pls, correct me if I’m wrong?

    Your images are cool and you capture the spirit of those involved. The young lady with a smile on her face, she has tribal marks looks very at peace with whatever is going on inside and around her. The men who painted themselves in white and wearing dark glasses, hilarious.

    Nice work.
