I’ve been looking forward to posting this for a while. Before we get to the photos, a little background on these two lovely friends. I met Emmy in 2005 during a Crocodile Racers Easter camping trip to Samburu National Park. Rickie and I had our paths cross shortly after that while I was working at …
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. While a lot of communication is directed towards women, we men are also at risk. That is what the #WaridiMan campaign is all about. We need to ask questions, get answers and make decisions based on facts and not assumptions. We also need to stand in line with the …
Last September, together with nine Onetouch photographers and cinematographers, I went on a 4,000km photographic road trip from Nairobi to Bujumbura. When we got to Bujumbura, we really looked down on the city, until we got to its beaches which are some of the finest inland in Africa. We got to Bora Bora and experienced …
The #OnetouchLive photographic road trip from Nairobi to Bujumbura covered over 4,000kms of East Africa’s beauty. On the day we clocked 1,000kms, we were in Uganda, on the way to Murchison Falls National Park from Kampala. The highway has little traffic and is paved with sweet tarmac all the way up to Masindi, where you …
Our #OnetouchLive photographic road trip took us from Nairobi, across Kenya, traversing Uganda and Rwanda up to Bujumbura on the shores of Lake Tanganyika. By the time we got to Bujumbura, we were very tired after taking photos over over 2,000+ kms.
When travelling across Eastern Africa during the #OnetouchLive photographic road trip from Nairobi to Bujumbura, we got many opportunities to compare Nairobi to other regional capitals. We got to discover a beauty of Kampala that we didn’t know existed. Wide tree-lined streets, impressive architecture and a vibrance that is second only to Nairobi’s. It’s traffic …
This week’s African Screens wallpaper is from a sunrise at the most beautiful place we stayed while on the #OnetouchLive photographic road trip from Nairobi to Bujumbura in September 2013. Nyungwe Forest Lodge is a place not to be missed when in Rwanda. Read about our experience there here. Leaving my comfortable bed after just …
In September 2013, I joined nine other photographers and cinematographers for a 4,000km photographic road trip from Nairobi to Bujumbura and back. This was a scouting mission of sorts to see if Africa is truly what we have been told it is. Check out #OnetouchLive on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to see what we found.

Located in South Western Uganda, Lake Bunyonyi had been described to us as the most beautiful lake in Uganda. We had to stop here before going to Rwanda during our #OnetouchLive photographic road trip from Nairobi to Bujumbura. After travelling on winding roads from Masaka, we got to Lake Bunyonyi’s shores in the dark of …
We are in Kigali, nine days into our 17-day #OnetouchLive photographic road trip from Nairobi to Bujumbura and back. From what we have seen this far, we truly live in a blessed land full of beautiful landscapes and warm people with big hearts. More about that in a later post. This week’s wallpaper was shot …
This is a monumental week for me and my fellow light painters at Onetouch Media. In 2012, we started #OnetouchLive and used it to write our own stories as Africans. Through our photos and short films,we shared who we truly are and showcased the beauty of our country. We visited many towns and regions in …
Many people say: ‘I can’t wait to get the latest camera from Canon or Nikon so that I can take great pictures.’ Truth be told, the camera you use should not stop you from taking great shots, unless it isn’t working. When growing up, I didn’t complain that I couldn’t race a car because my dad …
There’s a lot to be thankful to God for this season. Lots of favour, love, friendship, business, joy… At the top of the list is being blessed to cover my first ever military wedding. I attended an uncle’s military wedding when I was a katoi and all I can recall is guys were in red. …
Capturing the sunrise isn’t a simple matter of setting out with your camera at dawn and clicking away. There’s several variables to be considered. Weather is top on the list. You can leave bed early, hurry to your vantage point only to find the clouds have formed a formidable blanket that the sun can’t peek …
The illegal trade in ivory kills up to 40,000 elephants in Africa each year. That is 5 elephants, every hour, every day, every month, for 12 months! That is around one every 12 minutes!
If you live in Kenya and have never been to the Mara, you should make a point of visiting this wonder. Mara’s vast open landscapes will take your breath away, literally. Some places are flat for miles upon miles, with a single tree popping out of the grassy plains, as you’ll see in this week’s …
While it may be summer in some places, here in Kenya we are deep in our winter season. Its been very cold the last couple of days and we can’t wait for the sun to shine bright once again. This week’s wallpaper celebrates the beauty that can be found in these low temperatures. The image …
It’s been a while since I blogged a wedding so this post is special in many ways. First, because it is a come-back post to a photography genre that I love, and secondly, because it’s was my first wedding for 2013. Kris and I were buddies in high school and have managed to keep in …
I just got back to Nairobi after the coldest of weekends in Meru. I never knew the place gets so cold! Limuru has nothing on this place I tell you. I was covering the Niko na Safaricom Live concert for Kijiji Entertainment on Saturday and what a stage production it was! The choreography, sound, lights, …
