It’s the most prestigious annual athletics event held in Kenya and boy was I glad to have a front row seat at this year’s competition.

Magical Kenya Open 2019
Not being a huge sports fan, this assignment was a challenge I’m glad I accepted. My brief was to document the social side of the 2019 Magical Kenya Open, and where possible, capture some golfing action.
Tour d’Afrique!
I’ve always considered motorised transport the best way to explore new places. Get in, gas up, pick a destination, go! The downside is that a car cocoons you from the environment, making you more a tourist and outsider, almost snobbishly telling those you pass on the road ‘Look at me looking at you feeling pity …
2014 Safaricom 7s
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.
Shooting at Moto X
Motor Sports is one of the most challenging activities to shoot. Over and above aperture, shutter speed and ISO considerations, there’s also safety – yours and your subjects’. In an attempt to get the most captivating photo, you can end up staring at a hospital ceiling or send the driver / rider into the ditches.
BMXing on the Helipad
A quiet day at the office yesterday was interrupted by a pat on my shoulder by Allan Gichigi. He’d been invited to see some BMX riders doing their thing on the KICC Helipad. I quickly cleared my schedule and tagged along. I didn’t have my camera on me, only my Xperia Z1 which I decided …
Koffee Trophee
The development of cycling in Kenya has stagnated over the years due to lack of proper leadership, talent management and a list of other grievances that makes many wonder why the Kenya Cycling Federation are still in office. But today wasn’t a day to focus on these. It was a day to celebrate the best …
Athi 4X4 Challenge
I’ve been itching to shoot sports for a while now so when an email from Kenya Buzz alerted me it was on last weekend, I quickly cleared my Sunday afternoon schedule and planned to attend.
Zuku Universities Basketball Finals
A couple of Saturdays ago, I got invited to the Zuku Universities Basketball Finals at Kasarani by my brother and partner in positive contentization Okwi Okoh. This was a tournament that had so much swagg put into it when title sponsors Zuku saw the promise that lies in the game and had Samsung, Rexona and …
Bora Bora Beach Volleyball
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 …
#OnetouchLive Goes Liquid
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.
Look daddy, I can fly!
I was at the Motor Cross Circuit at Jamhuri Park last Sunday to do a story on the Jubilee Riders. It was my first time there and I was amazed at what talent and adrenalin can do. Children as young as eight were pushing their bikes at full throttle and eating up air like birds!
Meet the Jubilee Riders
As Kenya marks 50 years of independence on 12th December 2013, a daring group of bikers will fire up their heavy machines and set off from Nairobi to Cairo in a 10,000km return road trip with a difference. It will be a ride through some of the toughest conditions that anyone can face – rock-lined …
Limuru Individual TT
Sports photography presents challenges that attract me like a finger to an itch. The only thing that keeps me from fulfilling my itch is time. So when I had a couple of free hours before church today, I couldn’t resist the urge to chase pro and amateur cyclists on their 20km individual time trial on the …
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 …
