The small, little-known African island nation of São Tomé e Príncipe is a place worth visiting.

My smartphone came along for the ride with my camera and played its part too, even though I’ve been reluctant to make use of its photo-taking abilities.

These portrait format phone snaps are less disciplined and capture some little instant details – and the occasional selfie.
