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

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.

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

Photography started as a means of getting reference material for my paintings of nature subjects.

The Kalahari is brilliant - and easy to visit.

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

Even for an area I know well, I prepare a shooting list of subjects I need.
