In The States I would have no edge, no advantage at all.

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

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!

My first serious project was photographing badgers - very, very difficult as they are shy and nocturnal.

Courage is clearly a readiness to risk self-humiliation.

For sure, all over Poland, kids had my picture of a lemur on their bedroom wall - but the chances are they may never get to see a real lemur in Madagascar. I thought this was great and it really meant a lot to me.

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.
