'If you are a young or an aspiring photographer, these photographs will surely help you add that extra dimension to your works of art!'

'Pernille's flashes from the field is a reality check from a world of True Grit. In defiance of a misery that left us lost for development buzzwords, she brands Zanzibars and coffee tarmac upon our mind's eye with seething white-hot photoarts. Her mindboggling blogging takes us off the road for kicks to a blasting mixtape of aspiration, perspiration & rainbow elation.'

Morten Sigsgaard, friend and former co-worker on various projects in South East Europe.

'Oh, how I remember these days when I was young, back in the days in Moshi, collecting water, those were the days I thanked God for the rain because I knew I would never have to worry about going to fetch some water the next two days (probably three or more), no shamba work because the soil is wet, all we did was to keep indoors, roasting or baking or boiling maize (corn)... beautiful song birds all day long and night, cool, calm, quiet and peaceful, and oh, the greeness a week after the rain!!!

'This is reality; Hali Halisi; I wish the world could use Pernille's lens to view Afrika...'

'I have been an ardent follower of your work, your itinerary and everything around you. There’s always something to pick from your countless travels between Denmark and East Africa especially. Dunia Duara has become a song to my ears. It has become part of me.' Edward Echwalu, Thomson Reuters Photographer, www.echwaluphotography.wordpress.com

'I've worked with Pernille on organizing events and training sessions around social media, journalism and communication for technologists and developers in Tanzania. I've also followed her presentations on photography and understood several powerful insights to Africa just by listening to her. She's one of the few mzungus or 'foreigners' I've met here in Dar es Salaam, who has a true connection to the people, understanding of culture and passion for 'the real things and issues'. Jukka Siltanen,

'Pernille writes fluently, witty, inventive, sometimes cynical, mad, disillusioned, happy... about both daily life in Uganda, her work as development worker, and the issues of development and Africa in general. And she does it in an appealing well-presented blog.' Peter Cassier from The Road to the Horizon: www.theroadtothehorizon.org

'Pernille you are one of a few photographers shooting in Africa whose photographs actually make me look. Asante and hongera for that.'
Mkuki Bgoya, Spearhead Branding

'As editor at Mambo magazine, I have worked regularly with Pernille. As well as supplying us with inventive and stunning images of Tanzania, she has worked on projects such as coverage of the Sauti za Busara music festival, and has written on the lesser known Tanzania for our readers - making a huge contribution to making sure the country is known for more than the tourism cliches, and instead for its real depth and beauty.'
Rachel Hamada

'Pernille is a generous thinker and collaborator with a seemingly endless amount of energy, questions, perspectives, and ideas. We've worked on several creative social media projects together through Mambo Magazine and in each collaboration, Pernille brings passion, commitment, experience, and a keen sense of cultural analysis to the work. She also brings a wonderful sense of humor, patience, and honesty that is unparalleled. As a result, she produces striking images and ideas that set her apart

'I have known Pernille for years now; she has been an integral part of my communication and social media team where her tireless work ethic has led and helped shape our message and the team; a great team leader with amazing creativity, innovation and deep knowledge(local content) of Tanzania, East Africa she continues to blow us off with her great ideas and energy she has trained the team to incorporate and effectively use web 2.0 tools and her photography skills are out of this world-we are pro

'During my many online surfing, I was blessed/fortunate to come across "Louder than Swahili" I was immediately converted. Pernille has an eye that brings back all the sights, sounds and idiosyncrasies that i miss the most about home, whether it be a picture of ndoo (water buckets) mandazi or just handsome boys on the side of the streets, her photography has always managed to fill a void (homesickness) and have made me feel closer to home.' Kathleen Bomani, Event Curator at TEDxDar.
