This article deals with photographic encounters in the Kalahari. The author discusses the role of photography in ethnographic fieldwork and issues surrounding photography as representation. He writes reflexively about his own experiences taking pictures in the Kalahari, his motivations and subjectivities, the reactions of his subjects, and the nature of financial demands made. The author compares his own photography with that of two photographers well known for their imaging of the San-Paul Weinberg and A. M. Duggan-Cronin-while dealing with his own subjectivity in relation to ethical and representational issues
