Originality

It is not often that I get to photo a wedding that is absolute fun. Most days, photographing one wedding is no different than any other. And so it is refreshing when I come across a bridal party that is a blast to work with.

Such was the case last weekend when I got to work with a group that has made me encouraged that there is yet hope. The photo session was great, with the party doing all sorts of crazy antics, and being open to my crazy suggestions as well. Including the bride hanging out of the door of a bus in her full regalia kange style. If it wasn't that we had to be back at the reception, we would have gladly spent the entire afternoon at the photo session.

And when it came to the cake, these guys had it down pat. A log complete with a saw to cut it. Makes me wish I'd have thought of it before them! Now I have to just get my grey matter going. If only all weddings I covered were this much fun. At the very least, I hope I get one every now and then so I don't end up getting too jaded!

A pity I couldn't wait till the end of the wedding I had to dash for another one at the opposite end of Town, but it was great to see Raul and Ramon in action

Hi from South Korea!

My name is Jungshil and a musician from South Korea. I was googling the song "My Land is Kenya" and came across your post here. May I ask you couple questions please?

I'd appreciate it very much if you could tell me
1) how popular this song is in Kenya? and
2) how meaningful this song is to Kenyan people.

Thanks in advance for any kind of input here :-)
