I’m sitting at the airport in Cape Town and reflecting on my latest trip, cruising down the east coast of Africa. I was a guest lecturer on a cruise ship, talking about the art and craft of photography, something I’ve had the good fortune to do quite a lot over the past couple of years. I’m working through several themes on these travels, many of which have been featured in this series. But every trip yields a slightly different photographic experience.
