Description
The Maasai are tribes in East Africa. A noble and dignified people, they have proudly maintained their traditional lifestyle and cultural identity despite pressures of the modern world. They live a nomadic lifestyle raising cattle and goats, wearing traditional clothes, and living in small villages called manyattas, which are circular arrangements of mud huts. As the bright noonday sunlight kissed the side of this child's face, his serious facial expression filled me with a profound emotion.
