Taken on safari in Botswana, there were much birdlife to shoot but somewhat rare was this roller who was just waiting for me to take this picture.

About The Photographer

Cropped fa03a007

I have been photographing for over 40 years mainly in B&W but switching to digital in 2003. I studied with many noted photographers primarily to gain expertise in printing. I taught workshops in darkroom techniques, photographing, and travel photography, and have run tours. I have lectured and had one man shows and my work is in various collections. My main love is to travel and capture the essence of the destination.
