Photographer Philemon Makini has an awesome new project called ‘Maasai Warrior‘. The project features a Maasai Warrior in New York City. According to him, he was inspired by from his curiosity about what would happen when a Maasai warrior left his homeland and ventured into the streets of one the world’s biggest cities.
