I think I have an ability to piece together a long-term story, spread over several years, covering various locations, interrupted by other stories. This picture of kids filling ‘guerbas’ at a pond in Burkina Faso was a catalyst. At the time I took it, I felt that it would be a decent picture. (You're never 100% sure, as so many things can still go wrong) All it needed was to be switched from horizontal on frame 17 to vertical on frame 18. But that moment in Tin Akoff, immediately after the image was inside the camera, also triggered an idea to do a story on the management of water in the Sahel region. Not about the famine or the drought itself, but what was being done to try and avoid it — how did people cope with drought? Desertification was already on the agenda of some scientists but global warming had still quite a way to go before it reached the conscience of many. That precise moment in Burkina Faso, with the skinny kids who were totally adapted to their unforgiving environment, with the murky but precious water, initiated and defined what I would be working on nearly exclusively for the next 30 years.” — John Vink
