Photography trip to Tanzania — every frame a gift

I came to Tanzania specifically for photography and the country delivered material at every turn. Mount Kilimanjaro at dawn was everything I'd hoped. Mwanza's streets at dusk are an endless source of light and texture. The people, once comfortable with a camera, are extraordinary subjects.

excellent conservation gave me some of my favourite images of the year. The only practical note: roads between parks can be rough — plan around it. Otherwise this is a photographer's dream. I've rarely come home with so much usable material from a single trip.
