Cindi and Paul in Zanzibar Part I

OK, Zanzibar was amazing and Paul and Cindi’s wedding was in the words of one guest … incredible. Coasting along the sea in a wooden boat to Kwale Island, watching elephant shrew outside my room, listening to the monkeys going ballistic on my roof at night, trying to hear the words of the priest over the roar of the ocean … all incredible memories.

Cindi and Paul were total rockstars, they even looked like rockstars, insisted on photographs with the baobab, and in the village – my kind of couple. Thank you both for your hospitality and warmth, the love and friendship of your friends and family are a reflection of your love for each other. I can’t think of a more perfect place for the two of you to get married than on the edge of a deserted island in the Indian Ocean, surrounded by your friends and family.

More in a day or so … btw if you’re a Nikon geek, my two Nikons, one which was recently calibrated and the other which is brand new, did not deal well with the massive amounts of light and contrast in Zanzibar. I ended up switching everything to manual and going old school.

Back from Zanzibar

I’m finally back from Zanzibar, which was beautiful and exotic and all the things you expect from a tropical island on the edge of Africa. Give me a couple of hours to unpack my bags, answer the 212 emails in my mailbox, and get the beach sand out of my camera bag and I’ll tell you all about Cindi and Paul’s wedding on Kwale Island. Until then, I did manage to do some work on the flight back. No, my fear of flying hasn’t gone away and yes I still fly tranquilized, but for some reason the tranquilizers weren’t working on the way back, so I edited photos.
