Mali, Mopti Area, Bozo Girl, 1987 - When I was in Mopti I hired a canoe to take me to an island in the middle of the Niger river. In 1987, the area around Mopti was still very old-world. The women were bare-breasted. I have always thought that women should not be restricted to wearing clothes to cover their breasts. It seems natural that they should be able to decide for themselves, and it it gives them more freedom and comfort not to wear a top, they should have that right. Wasn't it part of nature's plan that one should enjoy the beauty of women's bodies?
