The Herders
Photo By Peter Stanley

Title: The Herders
State/Province/Region:
Country: Tanzania
Nearest Area: Tanzania
Nearest Town: Arusha
Brief Directions: This was one of the first photographs I took with my new Tokina 11-16mm. The camera was on the ground so I had to guess a bit with the composure. After looking in the viewfinder I fell in love with the capabilities of this lens.
Notes: For more of my images visit: http://photopoa.com
Best Season: Summer
Description: Young Maasai boys are often given the responsibility of tending to the cattle, goats and sheep. During the daylight hours, the boys stay close to the livestock to ensure that hyenas and lions are not temped to take an animal. In the evening, the boys corral the animals in their family boma (circle of huts protected by a fence of thorny acacia branches). These animals represent the family income and herding is one step in the rise through the Maasai hierarchy from child to warrior to elder. http://photopoa.com
Gear: Nikon D80, Tokina 11-16mm
