The people of Kenya really touch my heart. It is odd as I am so not a people photographer. However, these colorful happy people make me want to take photos of them. The sound and tone of their voices when they sing is really magical. I don't even sound like myself to me, but the sounds and sights in the villages just resonates with me. I can not do justice with photos. I'm trying to learn, Piper the lady I go with, she can capture their soul.


Great group of pictures. I love all that color!

Great pictures of the beautiful Maasai people you encountered in Kenya! Thanks for sharing! We spent a significant amount of time in the Amboseli area when I went to Kenya in 2017.

Excellent work! I visited Kenya in 2019, but my tour group did not spend a lot of time with the natives. We did go to a place where women did weaving, etc.

My first thought besides realizing these are very nice images is the beads. Do they make those themselves and where do they get the material with those colors or do they trade or buy the beads and then just make the items themselves. Either way very lovely.
