The way you captured the people, the elements, the animals, and the landscape is spectacular. Without going to Kenya, I feel as though I were there. Thank you for sharing your photographs. You have had the experience of a lifetime and it shows.

I have added to my favorites!

Your favorites? Aww. I will be adding more when I get my film developed and when I sort through my travel companions' images and post.

Yes, in my favorites! I am patiently awaiting more of your photos. The images you've captured are truly amazing. You should consider travel and photo magazine submissions as I would bet you would receive a prize!

If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the shell picture. I am amazed with the vibrancy of the hue! I collect shells and would sprang a pinky for that shell.

The photo captured it perfectly. My roommate and I both bought one.

My favorite is the masaii (sp) lady starting the fire, and the dik dik. The dik dik mainly because it was so cute. I also love the elephant shots, they really speak to you. You know, when the photo holds more than just an image?
And the flower shots were amazing, but those flowers are amazing. I also really liked that one landscape of...is it dusk? And all the Dr. Suess trees. That one was really evocative to me. Evocative of what, you ask? Well, it just gave me a special feeling. Otherworldly, or something.

Wow, Suze, those pics are spectacular. Thanks for posting them! I especially love the flowers and the one of the little dik dik. Cute.

That's a man, baby! I thought he was a woman at first too but they were all men. The women were busy making stuff and feeding kids I guess. It's spelled Maasai when referencing the people and Masai when referencing the park. This is how it was in my guidebook anyway, I have no idea why.

So many people have said this! I'm so glad I had my camera with me because we were just touring the place at that time. He really was so cute.

I love elephants now. We wanted to go to the elephant orphanage in Nairobi but we never made it. Doh! They seem like they would make good life-long friends.

I wish I got more! There were so many. I never got to it in Mombasa.

It felt otherworldly out there. In a good way. I think all the lower light ones were at dusk except the one labeled "morning scape". There were many though so I wonder which one you mean?

Incidentally, I've updated all of the blank pages so they are now all captioned. Also, I heard today that my prints from my film are ready! I'm so excited. I'm nervous though that something went wrong. Although I doubt it because they probably would've called. I'm DYING to see them and am picking them up tomorrow morning. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Hi all,

Over the weekend I got the second half of my site up with my film images. There are a lot more closeups in this batch because I had a nice zoom lense. http://www.photomakeover.com/kenya/prints/index.html Enjoy!

*shudder* For some reason I have developed this huge and irrational fear of them lately. I honestly don't know why as I've never lived anywhere that was even remotely near Crocs or Alligators.

They just freak me out....

Woohoo! Another great bunch of pics. Hippos are really shiny. Loved "Miss Sassy Pants." The lions & the elephants, once again, took my breath away. Thanks for not taking more of the sea worm.

This guy on Yahoo Personals said the sea worm was his favorite. I should run far and fast, right? He said it was because it was so unique. I think it figures the Maasai use it to make jewelry, cuz it's gross.

I also was struck by how shiny that hippo was! They look surreal when they come out of the water.

Thanks for your comments
