blurred line

beauty is in the tiny details

Now that my camera issues are sorted out and my beloved canon 5D is in full swing, I managed to secure a photo session with Ciphas my next door neighbour and friend.
I had previously discovered, on my occasional ritualistic evening bike rides, this tranquil and cool site along industrial area. Being at the heart of Nairobi’s busy industrial area, I expected nothing short of fleets of cars and Lorries streaming in and out, deafening noise from the factory machinery, plenty of uniformed workers and something to that tune. But to my surprise it was actually quite the contrary. There was this serenely quiet place sitting ironically just close to what I think is the largest Tusker larger brewing plant. I remember back in school a trip to such a place would mean an educational tour to the factories but this time round I was not up for “how the distillation process works” or “optimum boiling point” lessons rather I was interested in finding a sassy venue which would provide nice imagery. And from the beautifully designed factories, antique balconies, wrecked railway lines, this was the real deal.
So the shoot?ok I'll be honest and say that we spent so much time conversing and making stories of what was happening in our immediate cirles and that kind of took plenty of the time we'd have spent on the visuals but aside from that...it was ok.I'll you be the judges
