Artist's Comments
This photo is part of an exhibition entitled The Red Earth Gallery: Living with Nature in East Africa is to be displayed at the Alitash Kebede Gallery in Los Angeles. If you like these images, stick around. More will come.
--- From the text of the exhibition: Africa is changing. Telephone poles and paved roads are appearing where none were before. At the same time, the Maasai people of Kenya and Tanzania, perhaps the oldest culture in the world, maintain their ties with the land. Surrounded by the vastness of the African wilderness, they have learned to live with nature. Nature, of course, continues as it always has: slowly, unperturbed. The Maasai become a part of the landscape. They are the red earth which feeds all life. They are the tall trees where the baboons take shelter from the African sun. The African wildlife pass like the shadows of clouds on the tall grass. Lion cubs play in the shade, and Impalas watch from a safe distance. There is a sense of balance in everything here. Giraffe and Topi keep watch together over the hillside as the light rolls over them. The Maasai, the stewards of the land, raise their children under the infinite African sky. Follow them, and they will lead you into the bush, on a tour of this majestic land. Listen for their footsteps ahead of you, even if you don't see them. And when you find their footprints, you will know they walk lightly on the red earth. |

Life is a photograph - Take it!
It gives off this kind of desolation feeling, with the lion alone in a wide, deserted space, the grass not even tall enough to hide is bulky, yet royal and lean form.

A man who has nothing can still have faith.
I like the composition and colors on this shot.
