Here’s another piece that showed at TRNSMSSN – “2012″; a piece that was inspired by the hardcore photographs that Boniface Mwangi (who makes us studio guys look like wimps) took of the violence that happened in Kenya after the 2007 General Elections.

I’m of the feeling that we haven’t learnt much from what happened (we still have internal refugees two years later), and there’s a general feeling that when we go back to the polls in 2012, it’ll start all over again because the people in charge (“Honorables” Kibaki, Raila and their friends) didn’t lose any of their family or property in the violence, they don’t see what the big deal is.

I fervently hope not. Fingers crossed?

Here’s the video I was talking about earlier – finally up on YouTube. First time working with a prime lens and available light only (who needs lights? Ha!).

I’m going crazy shooting videos back to back, all for the TRNSMSSN show next month. I’ve just finished shooting/editing the promo for another Just A Band song – If I Could. This time, I was playing around with split-screens and working with the very talented Patricia Kihoro and Kevin Maina (aka K2 – who was the “astronaut” in Fly). Fun!

Anyone who wants to see it will have to wait for the premiere on TRNSMSSN. I’ll YouTube it quickly after that.

What a year that was! And I get the feeling this year will be something else. Here’s the first image of the year – a promo pic for Just A Band‘s first concert of the year: Walkers and Workers.

I’ve been having fun with lurid lights and color. Mmmm….
The band is good, too. Check them out on the 1st of August, if you can.
