Kenya Photography

In July of 2011, I was given the unique opportunity to, for one month, live with and document the lives of a Maasai tribe in northern Kenya. The entirety of my experience was under the guidance of various representatives of the not for profit organization Unto the Least of His. In particular, my job was to document the relief efforts that are being made in an attempt to control damage done by a nearly year long drought. This drought has taken lives and has created hardships for communities in almost every aspect of their lives. My experience, I soon figured out, would be unable to be reproduced in full via any camera equipment, not just mine, no matter the caliber. I was sent on an impossible mission to constrain a culture to merely 2 dimensions and bring it home as if it could be canned and tasted like an exquisite food.
