RE: The Beautiful Choice

This is such an amazing post. I found myself smiling the whole time I was reading it. I have loved your photography since the first time I saw you win one of the daily @photocontests and I began following you ever since. You manage to capture the beauty in this world perfectly in every one of your photos and we need more of that. People need to see more of the beauty and happiness from all over the world. When I spent the summer living in Tanzania with the Maasai people, they were some of the poorest people, but also the most happy people I had ever met and I cherish all of the photographs that I have from the time I was there.

The last paragraph of your post really stuck out to me because I have been through some pretty bad experiences in my life which led me to go to some dark places mentally, but during my own photographic journey I am happiest with the images that I have sort of the same feeling as what you have been able to create with yours. It is hard for me to explain. Anyways, your images radiate love and happiness and have a dreamlike quality to them and I hope to one day be able to produce stuff close to your level. Thank you for doing your part to make Steemit beautiful.

I'm so glad to know it resonated with you @derangedvisions. I'd love to see your photos of the Masai people. Have you posted any?

I sincerely appreciate your support and will do my best to continue offering good stuff for you to enjoy. ;)

Here is one of my photos I took of some Maasai children I was playing with one day. They weren't from the village I lived in while I was there. We had gone way out in the bush to a Maasai church and attended a service with them. These were some of the local children there. I have a lot of posts on my blog with different stories about my time there and I am in the works of writing a lot more.

What a spectacular photo! There is so much I love about this – the gestures of the kids in the background – the slightly downturned face and confident, unflinching smile – the smudge of dust on his cheek. More, please.

I posted a whole blog about this amazing woman. It's almost a month old on my page. If you want to look through it, you can check it out here:

My experience with her was one of my most memorable times I had in Tanzania.
