This is from a series of self portraits I took around the time when I first bought my camera. I had nagged my parents for an entire year. They had refused with the notion that all DSLR cameras are expensive. They finally gave in and gave me the money to buy one when I had a photography unit in my second year at school of architecture in Jommo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. I had been dealing with depression and anxiety, and photography became a good outlet so as to feel calm.
