Isiolo – Part 1

2010.05.10

During my Kenya sojourn I was lucky enough to stay with a very hospitable Italian man, his Turkana wife and the 19 members of their extended family just outside Isiolo, a small town about 6 hours north of Nairobi.

Black Spot Ahead

2010.05.01

To whom it may concern:-
I’m back in Tokyo, in body if not in spirit.
My month long sojourn in Kenya which I had hoped would shake up the snow globe in my head has proven to have had quite the opposite effect and has made me realise that the snow globe was in a perpetual state of shaken up and that the month long step into my personal unknown actually allowed the snow globe to settle.
I feel like I can see clearly for the first time in a long time.
What this convoluted metaphor means in practise is yet to be fully decided, but it is fair to say that ‘Big tings a gwan’.
Watch this space.
