I hope to goodness I would not still be working in the corporate world - the money is OK but it is no life at all.

Courage is clearly a readiness to risk self-humiliation.

I also had a tremendous passion for art and read a lot.

Big game photography in Africa is mainly done from a vehicle, so then I feel I might as well take the lot.

A large wildlife book, start to finish, could take one to two years, but then I would expect to get several good (nature) magazine features off the back of this, plus of course a lot of stock.

Currently I am working on another three books, doing a lot of magazine work, am shooting for fifteen stock agencies, plus my own photo library - all this keeps me quite busy!

I concentrate on the southern African subcontinent.
