'EXHIBITIONS' is a powerful tool for creating online exhibitions with your photos.
You can add quotes, change the order of your photos, align them in different ways, and adjust their size. Just like a gallery curator arranging prints on the walls of an exhibition, you have full control. The landing page on your profile is an exhibition that you can customise. You can also add more exhibitions and decide which one should be your landing page.
A succesful exhibition will be published on a regular base, in the magazine.
You can introduce some of your favourite exhibitions by adding text – stories or quotes – to make them even more attractive and to have a chance to be selected for publication... AND maybe the next one will be yours.
Today, I like to present you an exhibition titled 'Namibia is a photographic pearl ...' by Mike Kreiten
2.5 mio people in a country more than the size of France isn't much. Hence, there is a lot of nothing in between, you must not be shy of driving hundreds of kilometers, worst case gravel road.
This country has it all, from tropic woods up to the driest desert in Africa. One nice aspect is that you meet so many people more than once when travelling. The attractions are so obvious that it's quite likely to see travelers twice or even more times during your journey. Many of them travel for photography, be it decay subjects, animals, landscapes.
I was lucky to have some of my photos at least published, so I could create this gallery.
Don't hesitate to ask me for recommendations, not that I've seen all of this country.
You can view the complete exhibition here: [340] Namibia by Mike Kreiten
To trigger your curiosity, a small selection of images by concept.

 | Arnon Orbach CREW Dear Mike, your beautiful galley of Namibia is a refreshing insight into a country that most of us have no vision of what to expect visually when we think about Namibia. Thanks so much for the visual introduction to Namibia 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 |
 | Seiji Kamei PRO What a beautiful images. I am very encouraged with your work. Thank you for sharing. |
 | Mike Kreiten CREW Thanks a bunch, Seiji! Yvette decided to share them, I just put them together in one gallery to motivate photographers to visit this fascinating country. Glad you enjoyed them. |
 | Jane Lyons CREW What fabulous photos Mike! I especially love the horses on that desert landscape. Thanks for sharing these. |
| Mike Kreiten CREW Thanks so much, Jane, glad you like them. The wild horses can be found close to a place called Aus. There is a water point they return to every evening. There were two herds, some of them even came over to us, were curious and probably hoped to get some food. But when they started wrestling, we went on distance. These two stallions were the wildest of all. |
 | Kathryn King PRO The kind of images that makes me want to travel! Love these, especially fond of the abandoned walls with sand. |
| Mike Kreiten CREW Glad if they inspired you, Kathryn, thanks for the fine compliment. The place is called "Kolmanskop", and its history is fascinating. Diamonds were simply lying around there, in the middle of the dessert. This little town was instantly so rich, they built a trainline for their supply, invited stars from all over the world to entertain them, had an ice facility to cool down their houses. This weird place was my main reason to visit Namibia, I wanted to photograph it for decades. |
 | Hans-Wolfgang Hawerkamp PRO schöne Serie mit ausdrucksvollen Bildern, gratuliere lieber Mike |
| Mike Kreiten CREW Vielen lieben Dank, Wolfgang! Freut mich. |
 | Elizabeth Allen CREW Congratulations on your exhibition, dear Mike. The minimalist landscapes are so inspiring along with the abandoned houses, and the wildlife must offer precious moments. I can't deny I'm envious! Thanks as always to Yvette. |
| Mike Kreiten CREW Thanks a bunch, dear Liz. Envy is the best compliment you can give me. Go there, you will love it. |
