Nairobi; Kenya: When journalist Dan Kagochi was growing up in a city estate, the family photo album sat pretty on the table in the living room. It was the first thing a visitor saw after settling down in the home. It contained the entire family history — from his great grandfather in a loin cloth, his grandfather and his three wives, to Kagochi’s father in his school days and later on sporting an Afro and ‘bell bottoms’. Young Kagochi too pride of place towards the end of the album.
That was then. Today, thanks to technology, the good old family album is facing an uncertain future.
