The best of the rest
By Brendan
During the first Daily Dispatches, in Nairobi, there were a bunch of images that I took that didn’t exactly fit the narrative of the story we were filing that day. But still, they tell the story of Nairobi today. Removed of editorialization, perhaps they are a stand-alone opus of the city, visually.

About
Daily Dispatches is an innovative way for journalists, corporations, organizations and individuals to use images and words to reach audiences with regular engagement that builds connections through daily-growing interactions. We take one focus - any city, any company, any group of people - and explore it from all sides, presenting the discoveries on a daily basis through a website, an ever-expanding art exhibition, or a newspaper series. Daily Dispatches' first outing was in Nairobi. There we showed a fast-evolving 21st-century African city unfolding day by day in real time. We searched out stories from all corners of Kenya’s capital that painted a compelling, informative and surprising portrait of the city, and the lives lived by those who call it home. Each day, we sent our images and reports back to a series of US universities and colleges we worked with, who in turn printed them and mounted them in an exhibition that grew day by day. What you see here is the online archive of that.
