Exhibition closes
December 20, 2009
It has been a very busy month for me but my exhibition has now come to an end and things are quietening down just in time for Christmas. The exhibition was a great success – it was titled ‘Living Luangwa’ and featured 50 of my favourite images from my last 4 years work in the Luangwa valley. Here are a few of the most popular photographs although seeing them at web size doesn’t do them justice – printed large, framed and lit well makes all the difference..
Hollywood
Clash of the Titans
Kaingo
Broken Mopane
Kakuli
Milky way
Making waves
Geronimo!
Wet feet
Lashes
Skimming

Carmine bee-eater in flight
November 25, 2009
I managed to get a few hours of editing in today. I took this photo a couple days before I left the valley from one of my good friend Derek Shenton’s fabulous photographic hides. This one is built specifically for photographing carmine bee-eaters and is in a boat tied up to a tree in the river. Check it out here.

Exhibition in Lusaka
November 24, 2009
Once again the blog seems to have been abandoned…
I have been extremely busy the last few weeks getting ready for an exhibition at the Alliance Francaise in Lusaka. The opening night is this Friday (27 November) at 18:00 hrs so if you are in town then be sure to stop by. If you can’t make the opening night then the exhibition will be running until the 11th of December. I hope to see you there!

Carmine bee-eaters
November 8, 2009
The last couple months have been very busy and I haven’t had a chance to edit many images – which unfortunately means that the blog has been a little quiet recently. Things are starting to calm down a little now as the safari season comes to an end and so I will be posting more often in the coming weeks.
The Carmine bee-eaters have been active as usual this year, frantically digging their nests in the banks of the Luangwa river so that they can nest, raise their chicks and be gone again before the river fills with the coming rains. A couple shots..
