Mr Intriguing:

Amidst the muddy ground, dust and dirt, the old man stood out, sitting up proudly in his pristine white 'abaya' (robe). I looked at him amazed, wondering how he kept his clothes so clean. I asked him for a photo to which he arched his back even higher, knowing full well it was his demeanour that caught his attention.
Hours later I was still thinking of him.

Solomon:

To become a man in the Masaai tribes of Tanzania and Kenya you must kill a lion and bring back it's mane, this then makes you eligible for circumcision and marriage. The man in the photo is Solomon who is wearing a momento of his kill. He was preparing himself for the ceremony later that evening.
