7 years ago I traveled across Kenya taking photos of railway stations and interviewing people along the way..

Now, with a lot of quaran-time on my hands , I started an Instagram page to relieve the journey https://instagram.com/eastafricarails?igshid=1tgl60kx70vmn">https://instagram.com/eastafric...

This is also a mini experiment in social media archiving https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☺️" title="Smiling face" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face">

...I have nearly 2000 photos just sitting on my computer from this project.

Challenging myself to go through them, not just my favourite ones but also the raw files that didn& #39;t make the cut back then https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat">... Enough time has passed to see them in a new light

I will always be grateful for what this project taught me....An undergrad Comp science student with no experience working in heritage... just a curiousty and stubbornness to see it through.

There was really nothing to lose. (Except peace of mind of course)

I learnt so much from it...about myself, about institutions, about Kenya...so in a way, it is a self reflection of sorts.

Follow the page if you can. Share your thoughts, memories, perspectives, all are welcome https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☺️" title="Smiling face" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face"> https://instagram.com/eastafricarails?igshid=1occp5k27b71r">https://instagram.com/eastafric...

Later this year I& #39;ll attempt to continue the work, expanding it to look at East African Railways and Harbours...

This includes documenting sites and perspectives from Tanzania https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇹🇿" title="Flag of Tanzania" aria-label="Emoji: Flag of Tanzania"> and Uganda https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇺🇬" title="Flag of Uganda" aria-label="Emoji: Flag of Uganda">

I don& #39;t know how this looks practically or logistically but I& #39;m just setting the intention... We& #39;ll figure out the specifics once things settle down
