Wristwatch

Masai warrior with wristwatch by Bob Duck

This man lives in a Masai village in the Ngorongoro highlands of Tanzania. The village is quite remote...the nearest electricity or running water is perhaps 70 miles away. He lives in a traditional Masai dwelling, with absolutely no "modern conveniences". And yet he wore a wristwatch...this seemed to be the one aspect of modern life he wished to adopt.
