African Screens 15 – Cocktail Glasses

Many people say: ‘I can’t wait to get the latest camera from Canon or Nikon so that I can take great pictures.’ Truth be told, the camera you use should not stop you from taking great shots, unless it isn’t working. When growing up, I didn’t complain that I couldn’t race a car because my dad …

Capturing the sunrise isn’t a simple matter of setting out with your camera at dawn and clicking away. There’s several variables to be considered. Weather is top on the list.

African Screens 07 – Lake Elementaita Boys

This week’s wallpaper was shot on a bright Saturday morning in Lake Elementaita. It reminds me of the days when Saturday was a true weekend; when you could sleep in instead of rushing to school for extra classes; when playgrounds were the preferred play station; when kalongo, bano, kati, shake and bladder kept obesity and …

The third instalment of the debut African screens features a Zebra I spotted among a herd in Amboseli a while back. There was nothing unique about it, but I decided to shoot its back as it enjoyed its meal. I loved the way its stripes contrasted against the clear blue skies. If you feel the …
