Ongoma drumming : The Natives are restless.
Ongoma, a group of talented musicians based in Windhoek, Namibia, honors this, respecting the customs of our ancestors while re-inventing contemporary African music on a variety of different, exciting platforms. 

http://www.ongoma.com

Our philosophy is simple: music is our culture; it is the vehicle to express ourselves and feed our families. Our destination is to take our rightful position on the world stage.

This grouped performed a couple of weekends ago at a place called Long Beach.  Here is some pictures of the group as they performed and eventually pulled the crowd and some kids into playing the Djembe drums.  Please visit their site and listen to some of their music.  They are truly talented

Dunes of the Namib : In the Nama language, Namib means vast. An understatement when you're confronted with the endless orange dunes of the parched Namib desert.
The Namib is one of the oldest and largest deserts in the world and is protected by the Namib-Naukluft Park - a 50 000km2 wonderland of shifting sands and colourful dunes, amazing lines and curves in colours from bright orange to red to pink to brown.  Light more fragile than glass and photo opportunities around every dune.
This album is to house my overflow of Namib dune photos.  Some abstract, other less so.
Sit back and enjoy.

Your Bio

July 2008

I am from Namibia (Africa) and live in a small town on the west coast called Swakopmund.
Namibia is a photographer’s dream – it boasts wild seascapes, rugged mountains, lonely deserts, stunning wildlife, colonial cities and nearly unlimited elbow room as it is one of the least populated places in the world.
It's horizons are wide and its skies open. The spirit of Africa dwells in wild places where game paths criss-cross the land like wrinkles on its ancient face. It's a place of infinite space and beauty .... a place of texture and shape, of light and colour. It is a place that alive in your soul.

I hope to capture some of this beauty and share it with you.

I got bitten by the photographers bug in May 2007 while on holiday in Botswana. Since then I bought my own camera and various lenses. I am in the process of learning and experimenting. It is a great journey!!

Camera : Canon EOS 350D / 400D
Nikon D40
Lenses : Canon EFS 18-35mm
Tamron 70-300mm Tele-Macro
Sigma 10-20mm Wide angle
Nikon DX 18-35mm

All advice more than welcome.
