Good Night Nairobi, Pt 1

This beautiful city never sleeps. For every eye that shuts at the end of a busy day, another opens to admire the star-lit beauty of Nairobi.

This is the first part of a series examining the activities that go on in Kenya’s capital after dark. I’ll be posting more photos over the next couple of months.

For this instalment, I had the privilege of shooting with @truthslinger. We were later joined by @iWIDEkimani  who pushed his point and shoot to the limit.

These were shot around Kenyatta Avenue on a cold March night, with no disturbance from Council authorities, and the curious stare of Nairobians going home from work and school.
