Publisher's Synopsis
This work presents a portrait of Namibia as seen through the camera lenses of Gerald Hoberman and his son, Marc. It features such images as the Namib desert, its dunes and mountains rendered in colours of apricot and lavender; a flock of flamingos flying across Sandwich Harbour lagoon; and the fog-shrouded Skeleton Coast, where ships come to grief in a capricious sea. The photographs and text also examine the country's people closely, from the San to the pastoral Himb, and the European influence does not escape the photographers' viewfinder either. Namibia was once part of the German empire and, as the photographs show, the colonial ambience still pervades the capital city and smaller towns.
