Kolmanskop

Many of us have seen photographs of the abandoned mining town of Kolmanskop in Namibia.  Even if you don’t remember the name of the place, it’s difficult to forget photographs of houses, being reclaimed by the surrounding desert, flooded with sand.

For most of us, that’s about as far as this story goes, but for Australian photographer Emma McEvoy, this was the beginning of a journey.  Not content with simply seeing photos of this location, Emma made it her mission to visit one day, and to photograph it for herself.
