We’re having a grand time in Namibia! Today, we photographed all day at Kolmanskop, the old mining town that is being buried by sand. What an amazing place. There is such an aura there, of lives lived. I challenged everyone to capture the essence of place in there pictures, to tell the story of abandonment, faded glory, etc. It wasn’t hard! Everywhere you looked there were photographs. I loved how elegant this bannister was on this staircase. At one time, this place was beautiful and new. Now, it’s beautiful and old. My only complaint is that we are now moving on to Sossusvlei Dunes – but it will be another incredible location!

Enjoy,
