It's interesting, things that from childhood touch you and throughout life remain in the forefront of your mind. Things you just can't seem to let go of. For me it was always to do with the allure of Africa and the majesty of the wildlife within. To explain my insatiable curiosity and fascination about such an exotic and primitive place would be impossible. All I can say is, it bit me and never let go. Through the years, numerous visits to many southern and east African countries have served to inspire preservation of the flame that continues to burn within me regarding this magnificent place on earth.

To use a baseball analogy, I'm currently in the late innings of my life and live every day with no assurance my game will extend beyond a ninth inning conclusion. That said, numerous lifetimes could never provide enough time for me to absorb all the wonder and magnificence of Africa. As you explore this site please do so knowing these truths: it has been the passion, patience and the willingness to accept the risks that produced these images.

My sincere hope is, as you view this photographic art you will experience a connection to someone, someplace or a meaningful event in your life.

Enjoy your safari
