18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Maasai man with smartphone.

Outside of the Maasai Mara Reserve in Kenya, my group and I had the opportunity to visit a nearby Maasai village, meet the members of the tribe, and learn about their customs. As the tribe demonstrated the traditional adumu or "jumping dance", I noticed the tribesman who offered to take photos for another member of my group while continuing to play the kudu horn.
