Africa’s Alternative To Western Medicine

posted by

  We have all heard about the Traditional Healer, the Witchdoctor and the Shaman, but what do they really believe or practice on millions of African patients every day? Granted a few hours and some questions doesn’t give you a proper insight into what REALLY goes on, but at least I have scratched the surface […]

Matusadona National Park, Zimbabwe

posted by

  Picture yourself cooking dinner whilst sitting around the campfire. You can hear the hippos grunting from the shore, the chorus of the insects and the wood crackling in the fire.

They are cousins to the better known Maasai People of Southern Kenya who separated from them around 500 years ago; they share the same language of Maa but […]

Boudoir Photography

Here is a new area of photography I have tried, BOUDOIR. Some may shy away from these, but I think although provocative some are actually telling more of a story than just sex.  Trust, cultural acceptance and beauty.

Insect Macro Shoot

posted by

This is a slight shift from my recent posts, a first attempt at macro photography with my new lens.  All these photographs were taken in my garden in Kisumu, within a five metre radius!  I wish insects were a little slower, as I find them more interesting than plants and flowers.  I believe I have […]

Samburu County and the Camel Derby at Maralal

posted by

  Ever thought you could enter a camel race and win $230 and to top it off watch a marriage ceremony of the Samburu people? Maralal, in the Samburu county of Kenya, was named so for the shiny tin roofs of the White settlers. Picture a charming little town of many shops, hotels, restaurants and […]
