I live in a small village in the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya. A place called Gachie. Its a real nice quiet place. It has been two years since I started photography but of late I hadn’t taken any pictures because I had been held up with the construction of my new cyber cafe. I decided to set up my camera on a tripod and took a long exposure shot. I was impressed by the result. I realised that you do not need a perfect place to take a perfect shot and it is because of this shot I realised that.

Nairobi is Kenya’s capital city. In addition to its urban core, the city has Nairobi National Park, a large game reserve known for breeding endangered black rhinos and home to giraffes, zebras, and lions. Nairobi is also often used as a jumping-off point for safari trips elsewhere in Kenya.

Staring at a lion through the camera with a zoom lens is quite a powerful experience. I got to photograph this stunning lion at the Nairobi Animal Orphanage outside of Nariobi National Park

Double trouble. A pair of mischievous monkeys at Macushla House, Nairobi, Kenya. Macushla House is a lovely place to stay in Nairobi, with monkeys everywhere, and usually up to no good.

Giraffe eye. Using a 90mm Tamron macro lens, I took a lot of photos of giraffes close up, to finally get this photo of a giraffe’s eye, with a clear reflection. Nairobi Giraffe Centre, where you can get up close and personal, and have fun feeding the giraffes. I believe that most of the giraffes at the centre are orphans.

In Kenya, you can take a boat safari to see some amazing wildlife that live on Lake Naivasha. The day we went, there were lots of hippo in the area. They can be aggressive and dangerous, so the guides usually won’t pull their boats up too close. We were making one last slow circle around a couple of sleepy hippo when this one opened its mouth and let out a big yawn. I almost missed the shot and took this just as our guide cranked up the speed on his motor to head to another part of the lake.

Black rhinos. A mother and baby black rhino in Lewa Conservancy, Kenya. The people at Lewa are world leaders in conservation and anti-poaching. It is my hope that my photos will somehow help in conserving wildlife and wilderness areas.I also design camouflage for anti-poaching use, see the page “Anti-poaching Camouflage� on my web site camouflagepatterns.wordpress.com, which is presently number one on Google.
