Their first battle about two years ago was quite an entertainer. Today’s was epic. Two of Kenya’s top performers, each with their own bands, on one stage? I didn’t expect anything less.
kidepo live
Whether you attended the show or not, you need to get Qwela’s album Kidepo. They are definitely Uganda’s finest Afro fusion group – hands down!
Deitrick Haddon Live
Quite humbled by Pastor Deitrick’s humility. He chose a local band and musicians to back him up!
namenge and vusi
God is God. Yaani… I got to Lake Naivasha Country Club at 11am for a wedding that was to start at 3pm. The weather was beautiful until the clouds invaded and the rain poured. Heavily. There were some delays in the start of the ceremony so by the time we were going for the photo …
afc vs sofapaka
If you haven’t been to a floodlit KPL game, you are missing on the most fun 100/- can get you. When you finally do, don’t go to the hoity toity VIP section; ask to be directed to ‘Russia’. You will enjoy being with the ardent fans and will laugh at the comments they direct towards …
Benganology Launch
The first time I met Chizi was in 2007 when he was leading worship at Mavuno Downtown. He was different. Through his leadership, worship was real. I’m not a Premier League fan but loved how he started worship with a recap of Saturday’s big games. Then in 2008 I bought his debut album Suluwe and …
the emmanuel jal shoot
Prayer works. It really does. A few minutes before Jal’s arrival at the KWELI offices, the flash on my 7D jammed. I needed it to remotely trigger my 430 EX speedlight. Nothing I did was working so I decided to make my faith practical. Wycliffe placed his hands on the camera and a few mintes …
Love is Kenya Concert
Since my beloved isn’t around, I celebrated my love for photography at Love is Kenya. I’ve never taken photos at the National Museum. I think this was the first gig being held here. The organisers did a great job with the lighting. The musicians were even better on stage.
Happy New 2010
Came back from SA on 30th with a finger itching for action. My mission was to hit all the parties celebrating God’s love as we ushered in 2010.
ken oloo’s filamujuani
Ken is a fearless influencer I’m proud to call friend. When working in Uganda several years back, he casually took a photo of a street kid without clothes. That photo made the rounds and a few weeks later, the kid had decent clothes to cover his body. On seeing how that single photo transformed a …
kenyatta day 2009
I’ve always wanted to attend a national celebration. There must be a very good reason why more than 20,000 Kenyans flock Nyayo Stadium apart from listening to their President. As a photographer, there’s the opportunity to take shots that give a different perspective on the day. Well, not for me today. I never had the …
wrong way down
The more random a plot is, the better it is. Monday: the plot is hatched to go to South Coast via Amboseli and Tsavo. Tuesday: we meet at Westgate and shop for supplies at Nakumatt. Wednesday: we hit the road. Amboseli is teeming with wildlife. Especially elephants. Tsavo is huge. So huge we saw very …
Groove Awards 2009
I need to reduce my multi tasking and just do one thing at a time. I started my day deep in Thika at a friend’s mum’s unveiling of the cross, then went to Ngara to order some signs and was late for Groove Awards at KICC. Being at Groove was the day’s highlight, hands down.
kenya vs cayman islands
Sports photography is a whole new ballgame. There’s so many elements out of your control, top on the list being how the game turns out. You position yourself on one side of the field and there’s no action there. You move to where you think there’s more action and the action shifts to where you …
masai mara
The last and first time I was here was in 2004. This time, we got to organise the trip ourselves, making it more enjoyable. Being able to plan your itinerary especially when you love taking photos is paramount. Don’t think I’ll ever go for one of those group camping trips again.
