Notebook · Field photography

From the road.

A working archive of what we see on the way — kept untidy, like the country itself. Wildlife in Etosha and the Caprivi, the dunes around Sossusvlei, the cold Atlantic coast, the long roads between them, and the people, vehicles and camps that carry us through.
