    travel report namibia, botswana - "streetphotography" in africa an experiment...

    This post presents you a hotchpotch of photos from my last namibia and botswana trip. I always wanted to give "streetphotography" in the rural areas of africa a try.

     

     

    The result is more something between "road photography" and a photo reportage.

     

    Each picture is the result from a moment which attracted me very much. Every  picture has one common ground - they all reflect the daily life in this particular african area, which is the main goal of streetphotography.

     

    Hopefully there will be more african streetphotography in the future. Even in these times the photos give people all over the world truly the possibility to gain a better impression and understanding of this wonderful continent and moreover it helps to keep going a social debate - the cultural roots of africa and africa`s possibilities and challenges...hakuna matata!
