Description


Marienfluss Valley, Northern Namibia, close to the Angolian border. 1989 The Ova Himba, as they are nomads, sometimes they are not easy to find. Saw some smoke so we found their camp. Not a lot of contact to the outside world, cause the boys where a little frighten. A Albino also not very common. Scan from a slide, so not the best pic quality

Fascinating subject. It is hard to imagine living in the conditions that they do. You must have represented an unknown to them. Lots of human interest here...the boys are taking an ostrich approach...if they can't see you, all must be well:)

Hallo Joanna, love that you are interested in my pictures from Namibia, yes I have many ...but in slides. So getting access to them (or the thousends from West Papua) will costs me a lot of time. One day I will do that (i say this since years), made same few samples only, will load them up next week, cause will go tmrw for the long weekend to the sea to see my kids, back Tuesday. Have a nice weekend Reinhard

The Masai used to believe that taking their picture captured their soul inside the little box. I wonder what these children were thinking. An absolute classic image. Impressive work although I think I see some of those damn artifacts that always seem to show up on color film. The quality is fine.

These are very interesting and hard for the rest of us to even imagine that this kind of world still exist in our life time and this pic makes me sad to see how these children have to live not knowing of another world like ours and i have been watching the story on Africa how so many are starving so people like us tend to turn away from this sort of thing but i do wish there was something we could all do to help these people in our world.

Astonishing image Reinhard, very thought provoking an eye into a distant world seldom seen by the fortunate. Thank you for this moving image very touching.

I would absolutely love to see more; I'm quite interested in visiting Namibia (and South Africa as well) but since I haven't gotten there yet, it's fantastic seeing shots like these and THIS is super! I love the human interest and the colors, tones, overall quality. This is what I would expect to see in National Geographic or on some documentary concerning anthropology. This is superb.
