Tea Time!!8/29/2018 Its another one of those the moments where we make resolutions and the end up forgetting or just breaking them. So today is one of those Blog entries that speak to my resolutions for 2018 t go out an explore. I always admired the people that influenced my photography journey, from Mutua Matheka to Peter Ngung'u and how they were willing to let go of everything and plunge into the extreme or a journey of discovery. This was my resolution for this year, to explore and place myself in the unexplored. To push the boundaries of worry and self-doubt. So when the stars aligned and my pocket allowed, I set off to Limuru in search of tea farms. I had this one picture in my mind and it was always itching to be released. But before I started the journey I needed a crew to pull it off. In comes Linnette Muga, Dan Chichi and Brian Mutwiri. If you ever wanna travel and shoot, these are your guys. So the road to this one was long but any time is TEA TIME. I could not pass up the opportunity So the day was set, the crew was ready but the rain decided to make a special appearance, but I couldn't complain. The exhilaration and excitement was intoxicating to say the least, I really wanted this to work. The drive was quite the distance since I didn't know exactly where so I was solely reliant on hearsay and directions from Dan. So, about 15 Kilometers out of Kiambu town were greeted by a spectacular overcast expanse of tea farms from the left to the right. The undulating landscape seemed not to relent and this mesmerized me through and through as we drove along. I could not really decide where to stop but as fate would have it, we got our first location. So hurriedly we got through the small pathways leading to the farms. We were on the look out for farm guards. These guys will get any excuse to get money from you. We got down to business. We knew that our presence was unknown but unwanted at the same time. The challenge The challenge in this space was actually trying to control natural light. Despite it being overcast the sun was up and shining and so we used ND filters to tame the sun and this is what we got. And, as always thanks for the support in every way remember to comment and share the epic journeys we will go through this year. Shout out to Muga, Dan and Brian( was always behind the scenes) I really appreciated this one!!
