Candles

The long periods without power last year were unprecedented.

For a while, each time my room was plunged into darkness I lit a candle and, on a few occasions, I photographed the only beacon of light that illuminated my bedroom.

TANESCO, the Tanzanian electric utility company, was under constant criticism from consumers - sometimes unfairly - for failing to deliver. I credit TANESCO for inspiring me into creativity mode.

It is better to light one candle than curse the darkness (motto of the Christopher Society).
