It all started quietly. Freshly nominated warriors. Happy to pose for me over a few weeks, anticipating the prints I would bring, then asking for more, bringing more warriors who also wanted their photos taken. I’ve shot over a 1000 pictures like that.
Now one day, this guy (L) shows up. A real clown and a leader. Suddenly I lost control a little bit. Not that I complain since I got some interesting pictures.
For instance, I didn’t ask for these composures, he did. Notice the red ochre fat applied on the hair (hair extension usually).
Likewise he led his friends to show their back, and his butt. Same sense of humor anywhere in the world apparently. Though so far I had always thought Masai were more of the dignified type!
Him again practicing some fighting.
