AFRICA. The Serengeti Through Harold’s Lens:
Childhood passes swiftly for Maasai girls. Traditionally married in their teens, their prime duty is to produce sons to increase the father’s prestige within the community.

I absolutely LOVE your photos! It’s like you can feel the energy of the people you are photographing. And now I’m inspired to pack up my bags and go for a visit the Maasai myself
Nikki, thank you! Truly appreciate your comments and inspiration from them. Pack a backpack and wander among the Maasai as they live the raw life out on the veld. I found it amazing.
These are such wonderful portraits!
Thank you Peggy. Being able to get up close and personal with one of the world’s last warrior tribes is a very unique experience. The journey became very short the more I got involved in the Maasai lifestyle. I would love to live for a year as a Maasai.
Thank all of you for “Liking” my image of the Maasai. I enjoy the feedback as much as I enjoy posting images of this rich, warm, wonderful culture.
Great portrait again!
Thanks. For me, enjoying it as it brings back the actual moment on the Serengeti.
Photos do that so well, don’t they?
Yes. When I am Posting a photographic series, like I am doing now on the Maasai, I also play music from the region that I have bought in the markets. Makes my memories even richer.
Sounds like a great thing to do.
