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.

In recent years evaluators have been using photography as one method for collecting data in qualitative evaluatron studies. The public nature of photographs have ethical implications for application in evaluation practice. Of primary ethical concern are the issues of honesty and accurate representation in the sampling plan, proposed use of the photographs, and selection and interpretation of the photographs for presentation. Additional considerations include costs and benefits for the evaluator, clients, participants, and society.
