hehehe :D you look funny :)

I have been playing with my scanner again. This time I'm going back to 1992, and the shots are from a trip to Kenya. This journey was special to me: As a kid I kept dreaming about going to Africa to see the animals there, but I never really expected to be able to fulfill that dream (It simply was not on in the 60's). Yet in 1992 I was able to do just that, and I have to say that there is something very refreshing about fulfilling ones childhood dreams. I recommend it. Pictures:

Thank you. The thing is that I have been taking them for a long time (I started out with b&w pictures in 1975, and have spent uncountable hours in the darkroom since then) and now I am slowly transfering my old pictures to the digital format, so I have a lot of material to choose from.

Adventurer? Well, maybe in the sense that I love to travel and see things, but not by unnecessarily exposing myself to danger or anything like that. On the other hand there was that elephant that didn't really like us, of course... Um... I think I'll save that for next post ;)

Wonderful pictures! Kenya looks very green, and beautiful.

I'd love to see some black and white photos. I feel they portray a picture/image in a more beautiful manner than colour.

i took this picture on my phone a few months back. Its the first time in my life that i can remember seeing the toll bridge up!
