Kimana, Kenya

Winner, People category

Taken by Cornelia Carpenter

"After months of intensive studying, field research and writing, our team presented our findings and recommendations to the community surrounding us in the Amboseli Ecosystem (the area around the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro). Maasai morans, mamas, community members, government officials, the Kenya Wildlife Service and countless other representatives came to our presentations. Among them was this Maasai mama, who stepped out to accept a call. This photo is an ideal example of the modern world’s expectations of Africa and her indigenous tribes and the reality. It can be said that many tourists come to Kenya to see the wildlife, Kilimanjaro and the richness of the Maasai culture. However, they are almost always disappointed when they see that the Maasai are becoming more modernized–they carry cell phones, they have e-mail accounts and they eat packaged food, and this is frowned upon by those who come to see this “untainted” culture. This photo is a look into the real, progressive lives of the Maasai, not the ones we want to see."

Honorable Mention

"This photo was taken at the mountain temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The three Buddhist monks are editing a movie on a computer about the reconstruction of the temple. The man in the white shirt is the cameraman and the brother of the monk on the left. This photo shows the interaction of the eastern world’s Buddhist monks with modern technology and the ability to capture the historical reconstruction of the temple. "
