I am happy to hear that my submission was chosen to be included into Slideluck Potshow Nairobi, which will start tonight, January 16, 2010.
It was a very spontaneous idea from my part to submit some work and it definitively had to do with the fact that I still have so many nice images from Kenya on my harddrives, images that I did not include into that one exhibition in the European Parliament in 2007. So I felt this was a chance to show some more work and I am glad it worked out.
Special thanks to Tony Hunt for diving into the adventure of producing a sound for me. I know it is not easy to work for someone who knows too well what s/he wants but cannot do it her-/himself – especially if you just have one day for it. I loved the outcome though – fantastic job! :)
And many thanks to the never tired Slideluck Team! Congrats to all of the participants – I wish everybody a fantastic party tonight!
Wish I could be there.

The image above is not in the selection of work that I submitted but I had it already on the server and it belongs to the same body of work: a documentation of a cross coutry drive from Mosocho in the West of the Kenya to Nairobi. I did a lot of images during that extremely long car drive, and I do have various edits, some comprising people, some landscapes, some only showing painted fassades – some in color, some in b&w …
I am switching computers right now and backups onto external harddrives are currently running. I have about 12 of those lined up here and on the 4th from the right are the Kenya images that I submitted. If I do not forget, I might put up a little slideshow next week or so.
