Boudoir Photography

Here is a new area of photography I have tried, BOUDOIR. Some may shy away from these, but I think although provocative some are actually telling more of a story than just sex.  Trust, cultural acceptance and beauty.

Insect Macro Shoot

This is a slight shift from my recent posts, a first attempt at macro photography with my new lens.  All these photographs were taken in my garden in Kisumu, within a five metre radius!  I wish insects were a little slower, as I find them more interesting than plants and flowers.  I believe I have […]

The Skeleton Coast, Swakopmund and in the end Solitaire, Namibia

Journey through Wild Namibia A story worth reading for those who want to hire a car and drive through the vast desert of Namibia; “So what are we having for dinner then?”  Was the only thing that was said after we inspected the broken hire car.  How could we have crashed the car on this […]

Sossus Vlei, Namibia

Get Lost in some of the world’s largest sand dunes…. If you are looking for unsupervised exploration, energetic hiking, no other person in sight and all for a reasonable price, then this hot dry sand dune environment is the place for you.  Just remember being lost in the dunes in midday is something you will […]

The cool air is welcoming in the early morning safari […]
