Well it has been a crazy couple of months, starting with the opening of my show at G2 gallery on May 21. I was honored to have many of you there on the opening night. I think all the seeds I was busy planting at the beginning of the year all sprouted at the same time. June and July were some of the most exciting but demanding months in this crazy journey so far. I finished my first ebook that is being published by Trey Radcliff and you will be hearing more about the release over the next few weeks. However, yesterday was such a big day for me and I am excited to finally share it with you.
Naturescapes made the official announcement that I will now be leading safari’s for them. It is such an honor to be part of this team especially since I have such deep admiration for the owner, Greg Downing. For those of you that do not know about Naturescapes, it is a highly respected and successful online magazine and community that is now in its 10th year.
My first safari with them “The best of Kenya” will be in August 2013 This special itinerary offers the best of Kenya; Amboseli National Park, Samburu National reserve, and the famous Masia Mara during the migration season! To maximize our time in each reserve we will be flying between each location. Each of these reserves offers something special and different. I have spent a great deal of time in all three locations because they are my favorite places to photograph African wildlife in Kenya. Amboseli has great herds of elephants and zebra roaming across the dusty plains with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. Samburu is home to the rare Gravy’s Zebra’s, Reticulated Giraffes and Oryx. The Masai Mara, the crown jewel of Africa, is host to one of the greatest wildlife shows on earth during the time of the migration. There is just no place on earth that rivals the exotic wildlife during this time. It would be fantastic to have some of you join us as few spots are already spoken for. You can view the full details here.
One thing that I have been constantly reminded of in this journey is that if you work as hard as possible and never give up… and I do believe that is the key to success… is to NEVER give up…keep marching towards that dream and it will happen….it will not be easy….in fact it will be much harder than you can imagine, but when you reach a huge goal in the journey like this one… there is no greater joy!!
