Here they are Andrew.
This image was shot in London with a friend Jide Alakija. I was in the groom's house documenting his preparation before heading to church. While preparing, he suddenly
remembered the rings and called out to his best man. Where are the rings, he shouted,
and his best man stretched his hands out with the rings, HERE THEY ARE ANDREW.

This is an image from a Seun Kuti concert at a bar called Cargo in London. I really enjoyed this show, but there was a lot of constraints due to the tight space. Firstly I was unsure if I would be given access with my camera so I was less prepared in terms of how equipped I was. Apart from the tight space, there was an annoying photographer in front of me who thought she had more right to take photos than myself. So I had to manage the little space and the annoying photog. So here is one of the images I was able to come out with. I will be posting other images in the next couple of days.

As I count down to the world cup, I will be uploading some football images I shot on the streets of Lagos and Ibadan, Showcasing the immense talents that emerge from the African soil. Some make it to the big stage and others don't.
As it was said on CNN during a report on African football, they reported some of the best talents emerge from west Africa, hence the reason west Africa has the highest number of participants amongst the African countries in this year's world cup.
From the streets of Lagos to Accra to Yaounde to Abidjan etc, you will find better Drogbas, and more skilful and rugged Essiens. But as faith will have it, only a few will be lucky to cross the Atlantic on to the big stage. As the world cup is coming to home soil, lets celebrate and enjoy it, making Africa proud.As they say, it may be a ONCE IN A LIFE TIME.

chant joyeux
This is a wedding I shot sometime in 2008, and it happened to be one of my favorite. The couple was amazing, especially the groom who happened to be very playful. The bride is french, and the groom is english, which also made it quite an interesting mix. The image I am publishing is that of the bridesmaids. I remember them singing a song in french, which is why the title is written in french.
