Kenya has at many times been referred to as the World’s Safari Capital, with a number of prime options to spot wildlife roaming freely in its natural habitat.

This week, I’d like to give you another take of my scary rooftop adventures – scary for me, delightful for you.

I have learnt to live my life the fearless way. Whatever I do, I do without fear, knowing I am more than a conqueror. Put me in a cage with a lion and I will stare it down to a kitty. Polar bear? I will show it why they make cute toys. One fear that I’m …

Photography looks easy but it isn’t. It’s not just about picking up a camera one day and becoming a pro the next. It takes weeks, months and even years of learning, making mistakes, being blasted by clients, picking yourself up, dusting yourself and mustering the courage to continue shooting.
A very good day to you! This week’s wallpaper comes from the Athi 4 X 4 Challenge that was held in March. What stood out for me was the determination each driver had to conquer the obstacles in their way, no matter how impossible they looked to them and their machines. And when they did …
