"What is a soul? It's like electricity - we don't really know what it is, but it's a force that can light a room."
— Ray Charles

Life Without Lights

Life Without Lights
In a world where many of us have computers, televisions, and household appliances running well after sunset, it may be hard to image life without lights. Yet 1.6 billion people in the world do. After spending two years as a volunteer in rural Ghana, Peter DiCampo decided to photograph the perspective of communities that fall dark with the setting sun. These vivid images reveal faces of children reading, actors filming, a teacher grading assignments, and families convening for dinner- all in the dim yet lucid glow of lanterns, flashlights, and life.
