Historical pictures from Kenya

When you listen to baby boomers talk, it sounds like they had the best of times. When you listen to their parents talk, it sounds like they even had more fun.

As old people from the 90s, it also gives us a perverse amount of pleasure when the kids ask us what a VHS tape is and we start a nostalgic story with the words, “Back in my day…”

However, I recently found catalogues and portfolios of Kenya in the old days and I’m sorry I missed them. Amazing pictures from BM (Before Mari) that desperately make me wish I'd been alive to see that.
