The Unseen Side of Great Photography: What I Learned from a Chance Encounter
Sometime in 2023, I was in a conversation with some photographer friends. One of them was idolizing a particular image by a photographer we all admire. However, I noticed he was making himself and the rest of us feel inadequate, implying that we couldn't even think of capturing such an image. This really annoyed me. I remember saying, 'If you find yourself in the same room as them, you might even see better images.' I didn't say this to belittle the other photographer's work, but to get him out ...

🔁 megwara favour ReCircled: Beyond titles, a bond of friendship.
As I snapped this photo, a wave of déjà vu washed over me. It felt like I'd seen this exact moment before - the warm smile, the gentle gesture, and the effortless camaraderie. Then, Miss Tolanni's iconic image of Dr. Akinwunmi Adeshina popped into my head; the similarity was striking. This was a candid moment between two Nigerian education giants: Dr. Murufu Olatunji Alausa, the Minister of Education, and Chief Wole Olanipekun, the Pro-Chancellor of the University of Lagos. We were in the sen...
