The art of creating fire
January 30, 2010
In order for a Samburu boy to pass into manhood, he has to demonstrate the skill of making fire using only the traditional methods. A village elder demonstrated this process to us.
The only tools available are two sticks, some dried moss and a few dry twigs.
He obviously had a lot of practice, since this whole process happened rather quickly.

Very nice work here, Beate! Your angle focusing only on the hands really works for me.
Awesome photos! I love the ones of the kids in Kibera! It was great having you along!
