I’ve never seen the whole country celebrate like when we marked 50 years of independence. Not to be left out, I went to the Safaricom Stadium Kasarani to celebrate with thousands of Kenyans and foreign dignitaries who were here for the grand bash.

As Kenya turns 50 this week, I’d like to join in the celebrations by giving you something else to celebrate about. I’m giving away 50 18X12-inch prints of some of my best photos for you to adorn your space with.

Last Tuesday evening, I hooked up with Steve Kitots and Mutua Matheka on a hurriedly-put-together shoot of Nairobi from street level.

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.

Today I celebrate a new dawn for our republic. We as Kenyans have proven to the world that we have matured politically and can exercise our democratic rights peacefully.

Today’s celebrations were special for two reasons: these were Mwai Kibaki’s last national celebrations as President, and they marked the start of Kenya’s year of jubilee.

Last Saturday evening, I got to attend Just-A-Band’s Sorry for the Delay album launch at KICC. You can purchase the album here. Despite the slight drizzle, JAB put together a good apology for the late release of their album. It was a fantastic show.

I shot these several weeks ago on a #ShootingKenya expedition which saw us catching the sunrise in Nairobi and chasing the sunset in Magadi.

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.
