I captured this Wodaabe Fulani Gerewol (wooing dance) ritual when I traveled to Niger's Sahal region for a media gathering assignment in 2001. This photo has been edited/stylized a bit. I'm going through my files to find the original capture and other images of this amazing assignment and experience.
