Dinner Party


Title – Dinner Party
Date – August 2001
Location - Sepik – Papua New Guinea

Electricity is not something that is always available in the far corners of the world and in central Papua New Guinea it certainly is a rarity. Dinner is made on an open fire and you really have to have all of your own food, enough for your guide, boatmen and where possible your host. With just the light of a candle to see, you are never quite sure who is there with you, when you are having dinner.

This picture was taken thinking I was having dinner just with three or four people, it wasn’t until I got home that I realised half the village was looking on.

Beyond The Blue runs Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop during which we examine every aspect of your planned trip, including such issues as electrical supply in your destination and those places in the world where charging your ipod will be impossible, without a solar panel.
