Thanks to all of you who made the book release at the Hui No'eau Visual Arts Center such a great success. It was a wonderful night and all of you were there in spirit. All of the books have now been shipped off and you should be receiving them in the next few days. If you like the book, I would love to hear your feedback. You can write a review on amazon .
I will be leaving this Friday for my next adventure in Mongolia. I will be traveling to Western Mongolia to photograph the Kazakh nomads who hunt with the golden eagle. I'll also be recording some music with some of the Tuvan throat singer shamans there. I'm very excited.
Thank you all so much for all your energy and support. If you would like to keep up with me travels or share my photography with friends you can follow me on Facebook or on my website http://danielsullivan.photoshelter.com

Aloha Friends,
A quick update for everyone. The book will return from the press to Oahu on April 19th and we will be having the book release party the second week of May at the Hui No'eau Visual Arts Center in Maui. I would love for any of you to come who can make it. I will be sending you all an invitation soon. Thank you all for your patience, I know it has taken longer than I first expected but I think you will be very happy with the result. I have seen the final proof of the book and it looks beautiful.

Update #6: We did it!
Thank you so much to all of you who have been a part of making the publishing of The Tribes of the Omo River a reality! My Kickstarter Project has far surpassed my greatest expectations. If you had told me at the beggining I would have raised nearly twice the funds I had set as my goal, reached Kickstarter project of the day status, and have the project written about on some of the biggest blogs on the internet, I never would have believed it!
So many exciting things are happening with the book right now. First things first, because we raised more money than our initial goal, we get to make a bigger book! Not only has the book size increased quite a bit, the page number has increased by 40 additional full color pages of photographs. I figured that was the best way to reward you all for your amazing support. Also we are going to be able to now print 1000 copies. Today the book is in the final process of editing and proofing before going to press in China.
Now the CD. One of the most exciting things to happen has been the development of the recordings of the tribes. Dockside Studios a grammy award winning studio from my home in Louisiana is helping to master the music from the recordings. This is really really exciting! Thank you so much Cezanne for helping with this! I can't wait to hear the finished sounds.
It has been so amazing getting to know all of you through this project! I can't tell you how grateful I am for all of your generous love and support. So many years I have worked towards this moment. Thank you for being a part of that!
Warmest wishes from Maui!

Daniel - So many of us care for the world and its people and have no real chance in our daily lives to make a difference. I am so glad that I brought my two boys and then the rest of my family into your store in July. I wish you well in doing courageously what so many of us wish we could. God bless you and your work.

Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
For the past 15 years, I have been taking photographs in Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa, documenting the human spirit. My photographs and essays have explored Afghanistan’s refugees, the children of Cambodia’s dumps and the orphans of Bihar, India among many other subjects. Most recently I have been photographing the Tribes of the Omo River in Southern Ethiopia who will be affected by the Gibe III dam, for my second book "Tribes of the Omo River."
All of the photographs from this work were donated to Survival International in order to fight for the water rights of the tribes. My photographs have been published in newspapers and magazines worldwide including the Herald Tribune, The Guardian and The Independent.
Photography is my passion and my vehicle for understanding, seeing and communicating the world to others.
My first book "The Waking Dream" was a collection of essays and photographs from India, Tibet, Afghanistan and Cambodia.
When I am not taking pictures I am living with my beautiful wife Caramiya and two kids Tristan and Evie in Maui, where I run my store and gallery Indigo Paia.
