Hello Earthlings, I feel as if I have neglected this blog over the past week or 2. I have a very valid excuse. If you follow my page on Facebook (Click here) or twitter you would know that I recently moved back to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania (where I happen to be from). I have been home for two weeks now and have been busier than ever. My motto seems to be “rest is for the week!” I was blessed with the wonderful opportunity to work WITH a popular Tanzanian magazine called Bang! Magazine. I emphasise on the “WITH” because every time someone asks me what I have been doing and I tell them they seem to think I said work FOR. I am still very much a free-lance photographer. This opportunity with working with Bang! has allowed me to network, network, network which is totally awesome. The phones are rings and the bills can be paid lol.  All in all its good to be back home and still be able to keep doing what I was doing back in England. The parental unit and la familia are very supportive of my choice to not to embark on that 9-5 cycle and make this journey an awesome one which am forever grateful for. Anyways long story short am back in Tanzania and enjoying the transition.  Stay fresh, stay blessed! XOXO

Paintings by Ugandan artist Maria Naita.

Maria Naita is an accomplished multi-media Ugandan female artist whose art career almost spans two decades. She has a Masters Degree in Fine Art from Makerere University, but her work goes way beyond her education, with a master of her trade and accomplishments way beyond her age and experience. With several major artwork installations already under her belt its hard to tell where she excels most, sculpture or painting but which ever media she chooses she is very good at.

Her work is mainly figurative, inspired by her immediate environment, be it, social, economic, religious or even political. The female form takes the centre part, the African woman being her favorite theme.

Håvard Hole


A portrait and conceptual portrait photographer based in Bergen, Norway. I stumbled upon his work on one of my daily Flickr patrols and instantaneously fell in love with his work.  His portraits are powerful yet simple and his post process work is sharp yet natural.

That is the type of photography I like. Nothing gets under my skin more than a beautiful concept photo shoot that ruined with over editing at the end. It almost like preparing to cook an elaborate meal and then burning the food at the end. 

When I grow up I want to be just like Håvard. 

Hole is currently doing his 365 portrait challenge. Most of the photos above are from the challenge. Check out the rest of his work on his flickr here .
