I've been reworking a few old images I took in Namibia a number of years ago for a presentation I am making next week. So far as I can remember, I had not posted these images before.
1. Herero Woman
2. Himba Woman
3. Himba Woman
4. Himba child playing with toy car
5. Himba child playing with plastic bag

Great shots all of them, as usual. The subjects bright colors in image #1 are really interesting against the fairly desaturated BG.
