Picture of the Day!
One from the past: In my 25 years of wildlife photography, I have only managed to capture an Aardvark on camera once.
Over the next few days, I will celebrate my 25 years of wildlife photography by posting some of my favorite images.
I hope you will enjoy them.

No rest for the wicked …
I have felt a bit like this for the last few weeks!
After six days with private photography guests in early June, the four-week film project on Thanda started, with filming days involving around 80 crew members on Savanna, hot-air balloon launches in the early morning hours, and all-day game drives with elaborate camera rigs and large drones.
I also spend a few days on Pakamisa helping prepare the 30th anniversary presentation.
In between coordinating the film project, I photographed a wedding of friends in the Drakensberg Mountains, was involved in a traditional Zulu Umabo ceremony and wedding reception with 160 guests on Thanda, and taught a landscape photographer from Sweden my method of wildlife photography. During the same period, I also did two guest photo shoots on Thanda.
Tomorrow, I am off to attend Pakamisa’s 30th anniversary celebrations. I am very much looking forward to this bit of a break!
Above is a video slide show with images I took during this busy time!
No worries!
A few of you have asked if everything is OK, as I have not posted for a while. All is well, but I have been very busy coordinating a major film production for Thanda Safari, so I have had very little time for photography or social media.
In between, I photographed a wedding in the Drakensberg Mountains, and after the film production we have another very large wedding on Thanda. But after 17 August I will be back on social media.
In the meantime, here is a small collage of photos I took while working with the film crew.😊

Memories
These are a few of the favorite wildlife pictures I have taken while my younger brother, my nephews, and my nephew’s girlfriend visited me over the last ten days. (at Thanda Safari, Pakamisa Private Game Reserve, Ithala Game Reserve, iSimangaliso Wetland Park, and uShaka Aquarium in Durban). I hope you will enjoy the pictures!
