About Gathua
I am an Architect by training and a photographer in training. My wife and I live and work in the beautiful mother city, Cape Town.
Knowing well that Kenya is bigger than the geographical area called ‘Kenya’, I hope to add to the story of Kenya by telling of Kenyans in South Africa, more so in Cape Town, through my lenses; people we meet and their cultures, friends we’ve made along the way, places we go, our experiences as Kenyans in South Africa and the beautiful land of South Africa (Mzansi for shoo!).
These are our stories and their stories… home away from home.
You can also find me on Twitter, Facebook and View my photo stream on flickr!

Have you tried Patchwork SSB? It seems like a good place for a blogger with your spread of content.

Yours are some of the most stunning photos of Cape Town I’ve ever seen. Would you mind if I used them on my blog? I will of course attribute you and link to your site. Bravo!

Hi Gathua, I would like to know if I can use one of your shots overlooking Cape Town for a client’s presentation? Please can you let me know if there is a cost or fee involved. Thanks so much, R

Hi Gathua,
I am a freelance art director and doing a job for the University of Cape Town. We would love to use your photograph of the Cecil John Rhodes statue. Please will you let me know if this is possible. You can email me to discuss.

Hi gathua,
I’m writing you regarding one of your pictures. I’m talking about the one from the roller coaster during sunset. I would very much like to use it as my background for my new upcoming website called http://www.coaster-lab.com. Do I have your permission to do so? I can, if necessary, give credit or label a link to it.
thanks in advance!
