A lot of people photograph Africa for drama. I try to go the other way, normalcy is more interesting and on-point. In Nairobi I’m looking for where it’s going.

This is incredible news! I just met her last month in DC.

Practice spot today. Nice shady bench on a hot day, and just far enough from the houses to not bother anyone. #paris #thissuburbanlife #troubadoursoftheworldunite

Just arrived. I don't usually do slogans on my clothing. But when I do, I do like Bluesky CEO Jay Graber when trolling Zuck. 'World without Caesars'.

Great show last night in DC, finally got to see them, on their farewell tour no less. And I got this! Wish I could have seen Andy Gill but Ted Leo was pretty amazing.

A little different conceptual take?

I have a very similar valise

From maybe the best (most productive) two hours of my photographic life. Walking in one of the most fascinating urban environments I’ve been in, and both the light and the photo gods cooperated. (Kibera, Nairobi, 1/5)

For those looking to get off Google Maps, nerd out with me for a moment. Here are screenshots from my two new map apps today in Nairobi. As my wife and I walked our dogs in Karura Forest, I pulled them up to see how they handled the same location.

I like ‘Meditations’, echoes Vaclav Havel, one of my heroes (and who I was privileged to meet). He is someone I look to for inspiration in this moment we’re in.

Can’t we just hang out here instead?

Is this supposed to count as reassurance?

A better place for eyeballs on a day like today. #moomins

Today the Nazis are gone but the Moomins remain one of the most beloved cultural exports of one of the happiest countries in the world. I have the book series with us here:

The same walk worked out great for me too, here are a few shots. No way I could’ve even been walking around freely without him and his friend who was our guide.

Nairobi Contradictions (7/) Kibera 2/5 - You might be surprised that there’s an arts district in a slum. The strip of modest tinroofed stalls have artists in them. There’s a gallery.

What do resistors do? Let’s put it in simple terms: "Resistors make it harder for electrons to flow. So, they add resistance to a circuit. Resistance is a measurement of how easily electrons can flow through a material, and we measure this in the unit of Ohms."
