Rhino has always been one of my favorite photographic subjects.
It’s not always easy, as most of the time they have their heads flat on the floor, but therein lies the challenge. A wonderful combination of straight line curves and texture makes for a very ‘large’ variety of composition options.

In this almost mystical light the plight of rhino in Africa came up.

If anything, wildlife photography is helping us to create compelling images of these amazing animals. We are creating a record. A memory.
How it it that some people just do not seem to see the beauty of these animals? Do they not see that if things keep going the way they are that photographs are all we are going to have left?
Sad, sad thing.
