You must have seen their ads on Facebook by now. Easy Taxi claims to be the number 1 mobile taxi application and is now available in Kenya. This is all good for people who would like to use their service, but, not good to the photography community in Kenya and around the world.
There’s been a lot of interest in the operation of unmanned aerial aircraft in Kenya in the recent past and especially this week, with two mainstream media outlets publishing different drone-related stories on the same day. And for this reason, my long break from blogging has come to an end.
I’ll always be grateful to God my Father for blessing me with the gift of photography because through it, I’ve been able to visit places that I might have only dreamt of if I had a regular desk job. This year alone, I’ve been to more new places in Kenya than in my entire life …
I woke up this morning to the news of the passing of Dr Myles Munroe, his wife and others in Bahamas. I usually get sad when I hear of the death of someone I knew, but not this time. There was a sense of celebration in me. Celebration of the life of a man who gave …
I’ve always loved sports photography. So when I saw the Safaricom Sevens billboards a couple of weeks ago, I started preparing to be there for Africa’s premier sevens tournament. I applied for my accreditation to be able to shoot from the field but two days to kick-off, I was told it wasn’t approved.
About three weeks ago, I got to spend almost an entire day in Naivasha with my lovely wife Gina and several friends. We were at a conservation area near Crescent Island, taking in beauty I hadn’t seen before.
Earlier this week, I shared the beauty of Africa captured while on a flight from Abuja to Nairobi. Well, after landing safely in Nairobi, I was on another flight to Nanyuki the following morning, this time to cover land investment briefing session for Goshen Acquisitions.
It was a cold Friday morning, the 27th of August 2010. It’s a day that had been awaited with much anticipation and excitement. It had been named the rebirth of Kenya, and it felt like it. The only other time the country was so united in celebration was at independence. So Uhuru Park was definitely …
Flying presents one with an opportunity to see the world in a whole new perspective. In the few minutes before going above the clouds, I keep myself entertained trying to name the minuscule collection of buildings and highways. Then above the clouds, a new beauty awaits, with clouds of all shapes and sizes scattered across the horizon.
There’s be ongoing construction at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for a couple of years now. To cope with increased traffic into Nairobi and it’s growth in importance as a regional and international hub, a new terminal at JKIA is now open for service.
About one hour out of Abuja, and rising 1,125m above sea level, Zuma Rock is said to be the geographic centre of Nigeria.
I spent most of last week in Abuja, shooting at The Nordic Villa. While flying there from Nairobi, I flipped through my Msafiri and found an article recommending what to do while in Nigeria. Since I had one free day before returning to Nairobi, I immediately had a plan to take in some Nigerian beauty.
A chance to experience my favourite musicians on one stage was not to be missed. Not even with the rain. Not even with the Friday evening traffic. Not even with the fever that I had.
I remember this day quite clearly: it was Saturday 17th October 2009; there was an Oliver Mutukudzi concert going down at Bomas and the JAB 82 launch at GoDown Arts Centre; I was torn between the two and I’m glad I made the better choice. JAB’s sound was still relatively new in a country where many …
Since 2006, I’ve been part of one of the most brilliant creative teams in Africa. Over the years, we have delivered some of the most impactful campaigns on different media, all informed by sound strategy. You can see some of the projects we’ve worked on here.
Elegant in their walk and majestic in posture, giraffes are just attractive to look at. And with unrivalled height, it’s not hard to spot one in the wild.
One of the things I love about photography is the ability to combine it with travel, which is another of my passions. So when I was told about the opportunity to travel to Nanyuki and shoot for Goshen Acquisition’s investment brief, I was super elated. Plus, there was the opportunity to put the Phantom 2 …
It had been five months since I’d been on a OnetouchLive and my body showed it. There was greying around my trigger finger, with the occasional shivering of the skin around the elbows whenever I saw an overland truck on the highway.
Lake Nakuru is known the world over as a sanctuary for hundreds of bird species. It has over the years been the place where birdlife photographers come to make a name for themselves. But in recent months, water levels have risen to levels not seen in 60 years.
Burundi’s capital has the blessing of sitting on the shores of the world’s second deepest lake. Lake Tanganyika’s Bujumbura beaches are some of the best in inland Africa providing great spots for sun, sand and long exposures.
