A traveller with a camera!
Near the Angolan border in Namibia, a small Himba village provided an opportunity to meet, and spend time with, the local tribe. Here, a young girl looks over her shoulder to the photographer who had already spent the morning photographing others in the village so was tolerated!
Heading into southern Iraq towards Basra in 2011, we travelled through the Iraqi Marshlands and came across a number of locals who had made their home here. It was a big contrast to the dry and dusty conditions that we had already travelled through to get here. Whilst we waited for a boat to take us across the waterways, I wandered over to a couple of huts along the water. A dog came out barking towards me, but a small girl followed the dog out and soon reigned it in. Another girl, who I presume was her sister due to their likeness, appeared out from these same huts with a welcoming smile, and I photographed her against the backdrop of the marshes.
It was the end of a long day during the Turkana Festival in Kenya. The day had been hot, with little shade, and now we drove to the windswept shores of Lake Turkana. Here, two girls of the Turkana tribe took rest and watched their tribe dance in friendship with the Samburu till dusk.
We were staying right up next to the Angolan border in northern Namibia. Great views of the river there. This Himba man sat next to a boulder by the river, not that far from Epupa Falls. He’s smiling now, but he was worried about the crocodiles!
