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.

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.

The Kalahari is brilliant - and easy to visit.

Courage is clearly a readiness to risk self-humiliation.

I also like flyfishing - maybe I would have figured a way to make a living out of that?

For the first few years we lived in a tiny rented cottage at the bottom of a friend's garden. We often joked that there was plenty of film in the fridge, but not too much food!
