This is a shot from an amazing series of photographs from Nigeria, by photojournalist Pieter Hugo. Pieter spent time with a traveling band of performers who have hyenas, baboons and snakes for pets, and as part of their act (the part where they distract you with their cool animals as they rob you). If you see this particular gentleman (Dambe fighter) in an ally, or anywhere, I’d suggest you drop your gaze and walk away…quickly. you can actually purchase some of the beautiful photos from the series here.
