After Addis Ababa and a project detour in Harar, my time in Ethiopia finished in city #49 Dire Dawa on the 100 City project. A late addition recommended by friend and photographer, Yves Vernin, I didn’t have my usual amount of time here. So, instead of a full week plus to photograph the city, I had to get in as much as possible within only a couple of days. Fortunately, Dire Dawa was the perfect city to maximize my time here. Compact and full of interest, life and color, I was able to just step outside and start shooting. With some of the most beautifully colorful streets in the world, a mix of influences and charm, and a one-of-a-kind atmosphere different from the rest of Ethiopia, I have to pass on my recommendation to you all too.
So here’s 33 photos that I was able to capture during my little time in Dire Dawa…
