This is the first book in the series of Africa’s Second-Best Photographer. Stories of a life of lessons’, of adventure and of giving back. Tales that give you that feel good factor and hopefully bring a smile to your face. We all make mistakes in life and many of us suffer, be honest with yourself here, from what I refer to as ‘Matatanisho’. That word does not fully translate into English, I can best describe it as when one thinks of confusion offered by the abundance of alternatives that confront us nearly every day. The journey of life is an experience to be lived to the full and wisdom hopefully follows for the majority of us humans. That in a nutshell is what I hope will entertain you when reading these tales. Having been lucky enough to live this long interesting life, I write to give something back. All the profits from this series of books will go towards helping support the Home of Hope located in Malindi on the East African coast in Kenya. There the founder Sophia Tei works tirelessly providing a loving environment to help save many a child’s life. Thank you for making a contribution in the character development of our children because every child has the right to a good life.
