A beautiful book, celebrating outstanding moments from the photographer's travels. On Africa Time is an attempt to portray the lesser-known Brighter Africa. Images of daily life captured show a continent with its own identity and style, distinct from the new creature known as"global culture". Life is lived differently here and the continent has its own interpretation of time - Africa time. First impressions of the phrase assume it to mean that time is of no consequence. Perhaps the exact opposite is true - how can one enjoy time if one is continually preoccupied with not wasting it?
