September 2007 was the first time I took photos of Nairobi by night. I hooked up with Fadzter, Makumi, Francuso and Ken, got a 2-day shooting permit for Kshs10,000/- from DFS, informed the cops at Central Police and over a Friday and Saturday night, walked around Nairobi CBD taking photos. We had so much fun …

The Villagers Band Live at Burudani
This has got to be the most jamming I’ve done in a while. At some point I had to put my camera down and join in the dancing. What I love about The Villagers is that they entertain without gimmicks like ‘Weka mikono juu!’ and ‘Everybody to the left… to the right…’ And begenge has …
