Kinare – or Kinale – Forest is located on the A104 just past Kijabe on your way to Naivasha. It’s been a stop over on two #ShootingKenya episodes from where we’ve attempted to shoot the sunrise with mixed results.

David and Shiru Post Wedding Shoot
Some wise guy said people come into your life for a reason or a season. For me, David and Shiru are in my life for a very long season – if not life! Our friendship started with a shot I took at David’s proposal and seems to grow with every camera click. Three weeks after their …
#ShootingKenya Thika
Procrastination got the better of me on this one. I shot these way back on 23rd July 2012 on a #ShootingKenya expedition to Thika, Central Kenya. The day started quite eventfully with us being ‘arrested’ by some security guard at a fuel station on Mombasa Road for attempting to mount a GoPro in one of …
The Macharias
From when David proposed to Shiru at All That Jazz December 2011, I knew they were a special couple. It was my first time seeing a public proposal. Upon David’s request, Aaron Rimbui took a break from his keys and before the crowd gathered at Tribe Hotel, David went down on one knee and popped …
Shooting with the Nokia 808 PureView
At 41-megapixels, the Nokia 808 PureView has a pixel count that leaves even pro D-SLRs in the dust.
Joyce and Jonas’ Wedding
I met Joyce and Jonas about a week to their wedding. All the communication between us for about six months had been on email and telephone. Yet when we met, it was like we’d been meeting every week! Well, as we found out, Joyce and I had met before. She visited this blog when looking …
The Moon
Our night light is looking lovely tonight, isn’t it? Lovely enough to be shot.
Hilda and Melvin’s Wedding
Shooting weddings is as much a privilege as it is a responsibility given to you by the couple. For starters, the bride and groom open up their lives and give you unrestricted access on the most important day of their lives, then gently place on your laps you the huge responsibility of capturing the day in a …
#ShootingKenya Nyeri
Several weeks ago, together with other photographers, I started taking Monday photographic trips to different parts of Kenya in what is tagged #oneTOUCHLive and #ShootingKenya on Twitter. This past weekend, we were in Central Kenya.
Laban and Agnes’ Wedding
The 11th chapter of Hebrews describes faith as ‘Confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see’, followed by a list of men and women of faith. If this list were to be updated, I believe Laban and Agnes would find their names there. It was such a joy being a …
David and Shiru’s Engagement
This is the first engagement shoot I’ve done and wasn’t it fun! My first encounter with this lovely couple was at All That Jazz’s December 2011 show at Tribe Hotel. Aaron and his band stopped play as David got on stage and before the entire audience, proposed to Shiru, who accepted to marry him, much …
Ja Picha’s Wedding
I met Kevin ‘Ja Picha’ Ouma at oneTOUCH, a meeting of photographers and videographers with a common love for Jehova, the giver of our talent. Above this, Ja Picha and I also share a love for bONK tees. He was blessed to get married to his lovely fiancee in April this year and for the …
Meet DJ Sparrxx
DJ Sparrxx and I met in July 2007 when doing Mizizi. We were teamed up as prayer partners and we’ve had a high-impact Kingdom friendship ever since. Sparrxx asked me to shoot his profile pics and I agreed. He wanted something different though. It didn’t take long for us to decide to shoot in a …
Kenya’s World Beaters
Being at Kenya’s Olympic trials felt like being in London for the Olympics. The athletes I got to see up close are the very same who will show the world how to run, hog the podium and with medals dangling on their necks, make sure the Kenyan anthem is played over and over again. These …
Nairobi at Dusk
More shots taken from KICC’s helipad. See previous post for the full story. The sun sets quite fast, its like its hurrying to rise elsewhere. There’s hardly any time to change a lens or re-compose your shot when it starts warming Ngong Hills. Excuses aside, enjoy the shots.
Kenya vs Malawi
This was the first time I was going to Kasarani after it was closed for refurbishment in 2010. The date was June 2nd and Kenya were hosting Malawi in a first-leg World Cup qualifier. The security was the tightest I’ve seen at any venue, even where the president is present. It didn’t ruin the atmosphere though.
2012 KCB Safari Rally
After missing the 2012 Rhino Charge because of family commitments, I wasn’t going to miss this year’s Safari. My first motorsports event for the year brings back many memories. There were some scary moments for me on Saturday: I’d positioned myself at a culvert to take shots of the cars catching air as they sped …
Groove Awards 2012
Much respect to the Mo Sound crew for putting together another great event. I can’t wait for Groove to go Africa-wide with the accolades being sought after like Stellars and Doves. And salutations to all the nominees and this year’s winners. It is because of you Kenyan music is flying high on the continent. May …
Lake Naivasha Kingfisher
I took a break from normal work last week and accompanied Team Inflatables on a cycling expedition that took them from Nairobi to Iten via Naivasha, Nakuru and Baringo. I was providing support and taking photos, not cycling.
Impala vs Quins
I finally got a taste of rugby action last Saturday – at the wrong venue. Alan Hicks told me Nondies were playing Strath at Impala and in my absent mindedness, I rocked into RFUEA instead. From the sidelines, I got to watch a great game amidst colourful grammar from a section of the spectators. As …
