Hello, everyone. I’m back from Namibia (and Italy, Germany and Switzerland), and hard at work finalizing the manuscript on my book, but it’s been so long since I posted anything, I just had to share a picture or two with you! Kolmanskop, the abandoned German mining town in Namibia that is succumbing to the shifting sand dunes, is a favorite amongst many of the photographers that do our tours. There is so much history in the rooms, and there is a mood in the air as you walk around that you can feel.  The passage of time and the elements of nature preside in my thoughts while photographing. The town continually changing. Just 2 years ago, I photographed a building that is now off limits due to parts that collapsed. So each time I visit, I am mindful of how special the place is, and challenge myself to make pictures that represent the spirit of place.

Thanks for visiting! I’ll be back with plenty more Namibia pictures soon – after I get the book off to edit…
