Looks like a wonderful place to travel for photography. I love the dancing Himba women, but I personally think the first shot is too dark. But really nice photography. Young Himba girl 1 is excellent!

Thanks for looking & comment Roxie, yes I agree the first shot to dark, photo was taken a around midday & she was a dark shadow, I should have used a fill in flash

I did enjoy the trip, 2 things that where a big plus, one was that there was just the 2 of us (both mad photographers) & the 2nd was we went to areas that tourists do not venture with no set itinerary.

Spending time with the Himba Tribe was a amazing experience & fun, when I fist entered there little village I didn't know what to expect , luckily we found a cattle shepherd guy that could speak a little english & he was the translator, they wanted to dance for us & every photo I took they all wanted to look at it on the camera, I am amazed how different they live & also how simple there lifestyle is, they are very happy people, we all could learn a lot from them

Blame it on the missionaries whose "mission in life" was to "civilize" the indigenous people. I remember well an incident when I was working out in one of the Native Reserves (akin to our Indian Reservations) in Southern Rhodesia (I prefer that name to Zimbabwe). One of the local chiefs asked me how many gods the white man had? I asked him his reason for asking. He replied well, the Methodists ask me to come to their church and pray to their god, then along comes the Dutch Reformed Church asking something similar, then the Anglicans, then the Mormons, then the Roman Catholics etc. etc. Good question and we, the "civilized" people decry that they pray to different deities and idols. Civilization is one of the worst things that have happened to indigenous tribes around the world. I have personally seen it in Africa, the USA and in New Guinea. But then that is a subject out of the realm of photography. :(
