I would never dream, for example, of going to The States to photograph your wildlife.

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

I concentrate on the southern African subcontinent.

But then one is always excited by descriptions of money changing hands. It's much more fundamental than sex.

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

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

All I really wanted to do was wildlife photography.
