What a great week it has been photographically speaking; on two different fronts! 

First I achieved a mention on the Facebook pages for Africa Geographic and Safari Interactive Magazine with a link to my portfolio of images taken in the Maasai-Mara in Kenya, September 2010.

Then I am honoured today to appear in the first edition of a local online Wildlife Photographic Magazine.
Check out the August edition on the Wild Photo Mag website where the Editor, Andre; interviewed me about my Wildlife photography.  Page 35 of the magazine is the start of my interview, but be sure to browse through the rest of the magazine as there is wealth of information on landscape, macro and other photography in general by some very accomplished photographers and authors.

It was really great sharing my thoughts and experiences with the guys from Wild Photo Mag, and hopefully some of my answers inspire others to get out there and start putting their own wildlife portfolios together, even just for the fun of it - which is ok you know. Being a new magazine, I really wish them the best of luck with this endevour. It’s not easy putting a magazine together and keeping up that momentum; but they certainly have a great subject matter and a wealth of expertise to draw on - the South African Photographic community is incredibly talented!

My trip to the Maasai-Mara in September 2010 was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. You can read more about that experience here, but suffice it to say that if I look at the quality of the images that I managed in the short space of time that I was in Kenya, I am extremely proud of those achievements.  I’m also in awe over the quality of sightings that we had when I was there which undoubtedly contributed to my good fortunes photographically speaking.  To be able to share those images with the Africa Geographic and Safari Interactive community was really very special, as these are two high-class publications with a vast readership.

I was also a little taken aback by Wild Photo Mag’s request to do an interview to be honest. I am not a professional photographer but as you can read in the interview, I take photographs simply for the love of it.  Therefore I was not sure what I had to offer to the reader?  However, I’m really pleased with how it turned out and honoured by Andre’s editorial comments in the article.

As always it’s a pleasure sharing my photographs and thoughts with my readers. Thanks for taking the time to be part of that interest.  If you are interested check out my other photographic web sites and online albums or drop me a line. I would love to hear from you.
