Lens Addict

E-mail Print PDF
When I was 10 years old someone close to me should have noticed it. Walking through the camps of the Kruger NP with a Novoflex lens longer than I was, was not natural, and although I was very conscious of the stares and comments directed at me by men with beer bellies around camp fires, I didn’t realize I was that different. I thought most kids had a bazooka-like lens somewhere in their parents’ cupboards that they were too shy to walk around with. So I shrugged off comments like ‘Do you have a license for that thing?’ and pretended that the whole of the rest camp wasn’t laughing at me.

Living with baboons - 101

E-mail Print PDF

smallbaboonSome time recently, while fellow contributor Greg du Toit was in the midst of going viral, he gave an interview to the BBC that included his confession that he hates baboons. In Greg’s case, it was because they had the temerity to crap in his famous waterhole. But Greg is not alone. In fact, at some stage or the other, most people have hated baboons.

Baboons raid our houses, rip open our Liqui Fruit boxes and make us mop up the sticky mess inside our tent in the middle of Botswana when its 40º C, vandalise our crops and yes, they crap in our waterholes.

But… if you still want a glimpse into our crazy system, here goes!

1. How did you get into photography?
About two years after school I decided to start traveling, so went out and bought a little point and shoot camera for my travels. I decided to document my entire trip on film and started shooting everything and everyone on my trip. It wasn't long before I realized that my shots were not really as good as as they probably could be, so I went out to buy a few magazines on photography, soon followed by books. It then became obvious that I would need to upgrade to a better camera…so i bought an entry level SLR. Then things got wild!
