Maasai Warrior in Sepia

I seldom like sepia toned images however, this one speaks to me for some reason which I am still trying to get my mind around.  During my safaris, I try to set up a field portrait session featuring one or more of the Maasai Warriors from the village.  This image was actually more of a grab shot as we walked from the school house to the location of the portrait session.  It was not until I started to process this image that I realized just how far off my camera settings were.  I had been shooting in nearly darkness inside the school and I failed to listen to one of rules:  re-set the camera after shooting in extreme conditions.

I could spend all day photographing these wonderful people.
