The Road-side Stands

Everywhere you look along the highway, there are small roadside stands. It seems like that's how business is conducted in Kenya.


The stands are really ramshackle, in fact they're little more than tin shacks. They've got gaps in the walls, sacking for doors, and no light at all. Yet, they're operating just like a corner store with cigarettes, pop, and candies.


I didn't want to make it look like I was taking pictures of the people, so I got the Vernon Viper to stand for a portrait. Couldn't get him to smile, though....

Now you have me all excited about going on Safari with you. I think I am going to enjoy this journey as your photos and narration are already pulling me in.
