While Imperialism by various European nations divided Africa into a conglomeration of individual countries run by modern governments, there are still many tribal monarchs that hold both significant spiritual and traditional power in their respective lands. Daniel Laine is a photographer who spent the better part of three years shuffling around diplomatic bureaucracies and cultural boundaries to compile this amazing collection of images entitled "Kings of Africa". The project and its official website display Mr. Laine's stunning portraits of these descendant tribal leaders, as well as information on the history of many of the dynasties, kingdoms and clans that once ruled throughout Africa. http://www.tamarin.com/king/kindire1.html Clumsy Criminals The only thing more satisfying than seeing criminals get caught is seeing them mess up.
