Namibian Klemens Namwira

Namibian, Klemens Namwira, on his country's first day of independence from Apartheid.
TECH NOTES: Tri-X film. Nikon FM2n with 105mm lens. The FM2n had wonderful center-weighted metering. This is a style I had scene elsewhere from photographers who inspired me. For a shot like this on film you had to know how and where to meter; you had to fully understand the info the meter was feeding you and you had to be able to previsualize the final result.
