The life of the Maasai is dominated by their herds of their cattle and livestock. Their diet is based on milk and meat from their livestock. At one time, the Maasai were feared as ruthless conquerors and cattle rustlers who invaded other tribal areas in search of bigger grazing land and more cattle. The Maasai are also famous for drinking a mixture of cattle blood and milk during ceremonial rites. Their rites and traditional ceremonies are taken very seriously, and it is not common to allow outsiders to attend. Elders play a very important role in the community and society at large.

You're right. The scanning is absolutely terrific!. But don't forget, garbage in, garbage out. Your photos are excellent. Just exactly where did you lift the intro from?
Great job! Now I've got two things to catch up on. An excellent new lens and a wonderful job of scanning.
I'm impressed.
These are beautifully colorful photos. Isn't it amazing how diverse our cultures are? It is amazing you were able to view these rituals and get so close to the tribe. How was that possible? Did you travel with some kind of a sponsor, or was this a Hunting World trip? You were very lucky and now you have these priceless pictures forever. Someday you should go back, I wonder what the tribe is like now....
