When Gerry asked me to write this, I was completely shocked I had actually looked on here a few weeks back in complete awe at the guest posts on here. I commented on David Lloyds post and after reading that thought, I’d love to get this chance. Then the message came, it actually came the [...]

Hi there everybody, Thank you Gerry for inviting me to do this week’s blog post about the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, and the amazing photographic opportunities one can find therein. But I’ll first start with a little about myself. Some of you might have seen some of my images that I recently started uploading to the [...]
Firstly a big thanks to Gerry for inviting me to do this blog entry – I’ve kept an eye on the Photo-Africa blog site for ages and it’s wonderful to be part of it now. When Gerry suggested that I do something on how wildlife photography has changed over the years it was a bit [...]
I’ve always had a love for nature and the world around me and photography just opened up my eyes even more to the wonders of this world. To me there is nothing more special than capturing unique moments in time and having them there forever for the world to see. Photography is such a powerful [...]
Someone once remarked to me the pointlessness of storing pictures on computers after taking them. I did this for a long time. Then I used my other skills to make a website to show them to other people. Then suddenly with that, a Flickr account, and a Facebook fan page I’ve had an unexpected number [...]
Gerry asked me to pen a few thoughts about the photo safari business. The more I thought about it, the harder it became. Firstly I don’t know where to start, and once I do get started, I won’t know when to end- there is so much to talk about. I tried making a video to [...]
I have not had too much reading time the last while so for now a quick blog review. The idea with the Books & Blogs category is purely to highlight books and blogs that fall somewhere between wildlife & photography that you guys might find useful or interesting. I will be doing a whole lot [...]
The iPhone has changed the way the way people use their cellular phones.

With a multitude of photography apps and numerous references available I [...]

Known locally as Ingwe, meaning “pure sovereignty”, the leopard can still be found on farmland as well as other habitats throughout Southern Africa where they co-exist with their human neighbours depending on the attitudes of both parties. Game Reserves that are inadequate in size to hold most big cats such as lion and cheetah, show [...]
Louis Psihoyos, Director of the most awarded and ultimately successful Activist Film to date ‘The Cove’ said it best for me when he exclaimed … “You are either an Activist or an Inactivist. I chose to become active”. Well, some years back I tipped into this very Active Mode when my Camera Lens no longer [...]
A name that is certainly not unfamiliar in the natural world, is “The Kalahari”. Many people, although they haven’t been there, have heard about this strange hinterland where African bushveld merges with Namib desert in a marriage that produces one of the most unique ecosystems in the world. Covering a massive 900,000 square kilometers and [...]
