Hi Hans,
You may not remember me – I am a British guy based in Dar es Salaam who had a chat with you about photography, in your gallery just before Christmas.
I do love your photos, and use them as inspiration for my own. I’m quite fond of portrait and landscape shots, as are you it seems. If you do remember me, you may also remember that I’m currently in the middle of a photographic project: I try to take one good shot per day, for a year, and each one is recorded on a blog I call ‘Dar 365’:

Please have a look if you’re interested. And if you know anyone else you think might like it, feel free to pass on the link. There are actually two photos in the project which were directly inspired by advice you gave me when we spoke, both are Stone Town scenes:

and
Anyway, hope you are well, and that this ridiculous situation with Zanzibar’s electricity comes to an end soon!
Take care, and thanks once again for your advice and your beautiful photos,
Ben
