Hope your week has started off well whichever part of the world you are in. Here in Kenya, we are experiencing winter chills and can’t wait for the sun to return from vacation. This week’s wallpaper goes to prove that even in the dry and dusty times, Africa is still a beautiful place. It was …
The little-known village of Katsangani is located about 80km north of Malindi, and 30 minutes inland on a boda boda. It is an island in the Tana delta and for the longest time, palm wine brewing was its main economic activity. In the past couple of years, a group of fearless influencers from Mavuno Church …
A big thank you for all the kind words from last week’s debut African Screens wallpapers. I’m humbled and encouraged to keep doing this. The first instalment this week features Bee Eaters I spotted in Kajiado in 2012 where I’d gone to watch the Safari Rally. The beauty of these birds is their rich colours, …
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 …
We stay up late, wake up early and even skive work to show our appreciation. And they never let us down, making it the best 15 minutes of many of our weeks. And now, you can show your appreciation for Kenya’s Sevens team with the second of this week’s African Screens wallpaper. It features the …
Africa is a blessed continent. Yes, we have our issues, but we have more blessings than issues. In my travels across the continent, I’ve come to appreciate our abundance of diverse landscapes, warm hearts and explosive energy. All the photos showcased in this blog and at www.click.co.ke are shot right here in Africa as evidence …
I got to meet Andrew and Daisy over coffee earlier this year. To get to know them better before their wedding this December, we decided to have an engagement shoot recently at the Railway Museum. Many thanks to Wamuyu Kiragu who helped with the strobing and some of the shots. Please check out her work …
I attended my first Aflewo in 2012. NPC Karen was packed to overflowing and we all enjoyed the experience, from sunset to sunrise. This year, it moved to the more spacious Winners’ Chapel on Lusaka Road and what a wonderful time of praise and worship we had… it was Amazing! And since I didn’t audition …
Its amazing what we have in the backyard of this great city we call Nairobi – the only capital with a National Park! Spent a couple of hours there two weeks ago hoping to spot the lions but wasn’t successful. I did however have a great time there despite getting lost for several minutes while …
This week, allow me to take you back to the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa and the only place you can see chimpanzees in Kenya.
Last Tuesday evening, I hooked up with Steve Kitots and Mutua Matheka on a hurriedly-put-together shoot of Nairobi from street level.
This has got to be one of the most fun weddings I’ve had the privilege of shooting! Kash and Patricia made us so comfortable working with them, we felt like honoured guests at their wedding. And what an honour it was to cover their nuptials. Theirs was also special for me as it was the …
I spent four years schooling on the slopes of Mt Kenya and I can’t recall mustering the courage to brave the morning chill to get a glimpse of the sunrise over Kenya’s highest mountain. The blankets were either too heavy or a certain magnetic force always pinned me down to my bed around sunrise.
My fascination with elephants continues this week after an encounter with several while at Ol Pejeta Conservancy last week.
I had the rare privilege last week of visiting a Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Ol Pejeta Sanctuary. It is one of the few places where you can see chimpanzees in the wild in Kenya, and appreciate how human-like they are. We are so alike that we share 98.4% of our DNA!
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.
It doesn’t matter what part of Kenya you come from, there is a high-pitched guitar call to which your body answers to. You may be dressed to the nines and trying hard to impress the lady you are with, or in a courtroom, making the closing remarks on a monumental case. When that guitar calls, …
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 …
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.
We made history today by voting in the first elections under a new constitution, and going against the international media’s prophesies of fighting each other. To show the naysayers that Kenya has moved on from 2007’s chaos, I joined Mutua and Efi at seven polling stations in Nairobi and saw thousands of Kenyans choosing peace.
