And who said it was a clean and tidy job. I was travelling through Namibia in February with my friend Steve at the helm of his 1997 Land Rover Defender- no air-conditioning and temps nearing 50 at times, and that means desert everywhere. So in this pic I have just got out of bed after a big windstorm in the evening which filled my tent, almost literally with sand. I guess I had some sun block on as well, so the sand and dirt was able to plaster itself to my face. And not wanting to waste any precious water we headed off into the dunes at Sousouvlei without a look in the mirror. It was an Irish woman who asked me if I had a face cloth. I guess she didn’t like the Humphrey-Bogart-after-a-hard-weekend look. Seemed right for the place. And auto focus and a wide-angle lens made this shot possible.
