There are times in life when it’s good to slow down and be silent. That is how I decided to end the last few weeks of 2013; one of the most chaotic, but rewarding years, since picking up a camera and heading to Africa, almost a decade ago. Since I have been sharing images throughout… Read more »

I recently returned from 7 weeks in Ethiopia, which included several weeks exploring new ground that included wildlife and the historical north.

How did the Canon 1DX perform on its matronly voyage to the Mara? Unbelievably Awesome! Kudos to Canon for rebuilding the AF system from the ground up. I have not been this happy with a “high speed” body, since the 1D Mark II, not to be confused with the 5D Mark II. Yes, the camera… Read more »
