disjointed introspective retrospect

29 Jun

Fact:

There are more than 6 billion people on this world, but only one you. So why the heck are you acting like everyone else? Your failure to appreciate and develop your uniqueness is an insult to yourself and your creator. Yeah I said it. Sue me.

Fact-ish:

Apparently, everything you’ve ever seen, heard, touched, said, experienced, thought, understood, overheard is somewhere in your mind. Do you even remotely know how powerful your mind is? So what on earth are you doing limiting yourself to that miserable boring existence you call a life?

Oh, wait… it’s not a life? Ha! Oh yeah. My bad.

Choice:

Apathy, Mediocrity or Excellence? Choose now. Choose wisely. (more…)

Tanzania Mania – a prelude

25 Jun

So, from Monday to Wednesday, I was kinda all over Tanzania. Route was Entebbe to Nairobi to Dar es Salaam to Mwanza to Bukoba to Mutukula and back to our lovely country.

I took thousands of pics. Yeah. Thousands. That’s how I get when I lay my hands on a camera. This time I was privileged to travel with a Nikon D80. Awesome machine. It was my second proper exposure to the finer workings of a DSLR, over three days. My first exposure was just a few hours, in which I was too scared to mess up the person’s settings.

But, let me not bore you. I have a few teaser pics. I have tweaked in a little Photoshop magic. I can’t release the rest till the project is complete, which will be next week, so a little patience, toute le monde, s’il vous plait.

Without further ado…

This view is just awesome!

Mount Kilimanjaro. 'nuff said.

This is a beautiful island.
