Some pictures from Africa Trip

On June 13th I came back from a 3 week tour of Kenya and Tanzania. The tour was organized by Guerba, and I really enjoyed it.

Here is a sneak preview of the pictures (Credit for the pictures goes to Alex who also went on this tour. I didn't have a camera, so it was up to him to capture our journey on "film". I think he handled the job well)

The rest of the pictures will be uploaded shortly. Additionally, I will post a full review of the trip within the next few days.


The 6 of us who went on Guerba's Faces of Kenya tour.

Africa Kenya Amboseli Camp
This is a picture showing our typical camp site set up. This particular picture has been taken in Amboseli National Park in Kenya


Trying to ride an Ostrich at the Ostrich Farm in Kenya.


Preparing for a heavy rain. Taken at the camp site on the slopes of Mount Kenya.


Reticulated Giraffe. Taken at Samburu National Park in Kenya.


Elephants. Taken at Samburu National Park in Kenya.


On the second day at Samburu park we finally saw a cheetah. It was peacefully sleeping on the road. Unfortunately our truck got to close to it, so the cheetah got up and walked away.


Lake Nakuru attracts hundreds of thousands of flamingos. Lake Nakuru with it's surrounding mountains and wildlife was one of the highlights of the tour.


We saw lots of rhinos at Nakuru Park. This was one of them.


Taken in the Masai Village in Loita Hills in Kenya. On the left is a young Masai Warrior, and on the right is me.


Zebras. Taken at Masai Mara national park in Kenya. Few of the thousands of zebras that we saw in Africa.


Ngorongoro Crater. This looks like a deserted area, right ? WRONG ! This crater has the largest concentration of wildlife on the planet. Zebras, Lions, Hippos, Hyenas, etc - they are all there.

The wonders of photography...

Finally, two months after buying a Canon Powershot S60 I got to read it's instruction manual today. My knowledge of digital photography has been really minimal, so reading that instruction manual really opened my eyes to the wonders of photography. I was amazed at how many camera options one can configure in order improve the quality of the pictures. After reading the manual, I turned to Google to find more resources and tutorials on digital photography, and quickly found an excellent website http://www.dcviews.com that has an incredible collection of tutorials on all kinds of topics related to digital photography. Obviously I cannot become a great photographer right away, but I hope that after reading all that information today, my future pictures are going to be at least slightly better than the ones I've been taking up until now.

Ferry Corsten at Mezzanine, San Francisco

This past friday(Oct 15, 2004) I went to what it considered to be San Francisco's premier underground nightclub called Mezzanine. DJ Ferry Corsten was spinning, so it was a good occasion to check out that venue for the first time. Up to that point I was somewhat dissapointed in San Fran's nightclub scene - the clubs are not nearly as good as in Toronto, and the sound quality usually leaves a lot to be desired. Well, Mezzanine proved to be a different beast. I really really really liked it. The sound was good, and the vibe was awesome. It was evident that people came there to party, and party they did ! Ferry Corsten was also on fire, and it seemed like he was really enjoying himself. One thing that I found strange was that most people in the club were sober. Lets be frank here - the crowd in Toronto is usually 80% high. In San Fran it's the other way around - pretty much everyone was either sober or drunk. Nice !
