In pre-colonial Kenya a story is told of a saloon built at the heart of an infamous town “Death City” in the Eastern Frontier District. The small town was inhabited by a group of outlaws who committed serious war crimes during the Great War of Liberty of 1871 and fled East of Mt. Kirinyaga (now Mt. Kenya). We set out to photograph a few of the remaining 5th Generation descendants who still own and control the secret saloon.

I've always been fascinated by the 19th Century Victorian Era; the way of life, fashion and architectural style of that period (especially the post civil war period). These images were partly inspired by a frictional character on “Hell on Wheels TV Series”;Lily Bell, a young widow who tries to make her own way in a world that has no place for her.

In colonial Kenya a story is told about Lord Egerton who built a magnificent 52-room castle for the love of his life. The Lady’s identity is not known but its believed she was of Austrian origin. The construction took 16 years to complete but he came through a cold reality that the purpose for which the castle was built had fizzled out. The love of his life had declined to marry him not only once but twice. He died a lonely, unloved man.

Early in the morning, Lucy was all tired and freezing, the fishermen in the misty dam were all cool and acting normal as they lit a bonfire to warm us up.
