Isiolo, Eastern Province, Kenya, December 2007.
Women working/walking. I love the way Kenyan women use colour in their lives: clothing, blankets, scarves (and umbrellas). There is also a way the women carry themselves, with dignity, even when laden with goods and children. There was something about the bright umbrella on a sunny day that reminded me of parasols used by other kinds of women, in other countries and other times.

Greetings Generation Kenya from Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia.
Congratulations on the launch of your website !
Surabaya is known as ‘the city of heroes’ because of the role played by its people in the struggle for independence from the Dutch 60 + years ago. Nowadays, its a city of malls and industrial development.
I hope the stories and images that appear on Generation Kenya will be an inspiration to a new generation of Indonesian heroes, a force for unity across barriers of language and culture.
