That’s it! I’m out of here! Africa here I come! I will be in Africa from Nov. 25th, 2011- Jan. 7th 2012 (6 weeks). In that time I’ll take part in two tours along the coast and interiors of South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, & Zimbabwe. I’m bringing 4 lenses, 2 camera bodies, 8 batteries, over 500 GB in memory cards, lots of Sunscreen and Jungle Juice! Sure I will try to photograph “the big 5” (game animals) but really my eye is looking for the “not so obvious” of Africa. Ask me what that is, and I’ll tell you when I get back. Speaking of when I get back I will post the images from the trip at that time- no fancy travel blog…. I will be out of email & phone contact for week long periods so if you need me and it is desperately urgent I’ll try and get back with you when in Africa, otherwise I’ll talk to you when I get back!!!!
