Zanzibar in Black and White Details
The spice island of Zanzibar is a riot of colour and life, so it may seem bizarre even a little perverse to try and capture the essence of the country in shades of grey. And yet the approach somehow works. Black and white imagery has a timeless quality that is sometimes lacking in the more literal results of colour photography. For me Zanzibar, particularly the busy streets of Stone Town, also had that sense of being of another age. Away from the angry buzz of mopeds and the incongruous sight of Maasai warriors talking on mobile phones, I felt the very real possibility that the twenty-first century had been left far behind. I was thrilled and energised at the possibilities that presented themselves in my too-brief journey. http://www.davidtaylorphotography.co.uk Read more
