About the Item
Waiting for the rains in Wamba
The first time I visited Wamba in the heart of the Samburu district its red soil was bone dry. The rains were a couple of week’s overdue, and with only around 3-4 weeks of rain a year, people feared drought, and the inevitable famine that would follow.
A week later when I returned the sky was overcast and full of dark clouds. Wamba now had greenery on its bushes and trees. Discussions focused on impending marriages, the returning warriors and their animals, and the forthcoming circumcision ceremonies.
Water is clearly pivotal to the continuation of life and cultural practices in Kenya’s north; a case of ‘better late than never’ for the rains at Wamba.
John Kenny’s work is all shot on location in some of the remotest corners of Africa. His subjects are lit with natural light and wear their day to day attire.

Edition of 5; Ed. no. 5/5 (from a sold out edition) Albert Watson (*1942, Scotland) is a Scottish photographer well known for his fashion, celebrity, and art photography, having shot over 200 Vogue and 40 Rolling Stone covers since the mid-1970s. His photographs are signature, classical, and bold, and in our world of manipulation, Watson prefers the enlargers and the trays; an artist who greatly enriches our perception with his unique photographic view. Photo District News named Watson one of the 20 most influential photographers of all time, along with Richard Avedon and Irving Penn, among others. Watson shared intimate moments about shooting celebrities like Johnny Depp, 50 Cent and Clint Eastwood and dove into the history behind famous shots like the double exposure of Mick Jagger and the leopard that Watson shot by chance.
