[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the second Himba lady to be shown. Access to this tribe is severely restricted by the Namibian government . They are completely natural and hopefully will continue their nomadic way of life in The Skeleton Coast.

Ummm...very National Geographical.

Its an interesting portrait - more because of the subject. You could do with being 20 degrees further to the right - the hair across the face closes off the image a little bit.

How is 'access' restricted? Mean forbidden? So if you,let's say, visit their 'village' or just happen to meet them, what happen then? And isn't she selling souvenirs for turist?

fantastic life shot as it was meant to be taken well done
