Sketching the Maasai
APW works closely with the local Maasai community and I knew it would be wonderful to be able to sketch some of the large cattle herds and their Maasai herdsmen. However, this is not a tourist area and I didn't want to offend anyone in any way so I was careful not be too obtrusive. But the great thing about having a sketchbook is that people can come up and look over your shoulder at your sketches. I found that many of the Maasai were interested and enjoyed seeing me sketching their prized possession - their cattle. The video below shows more of my field sketching of the Maasai.
