Series: African Safari

The Safari experience has now redefined what it is to observe this incredible creatures on their terms. It's intense and powerful as there are no " bars " that are separating you from the many raw displays of life. 

All the pre determined knowledge you've ever had in your head about a giraffe goes out the door when one of them is intently staring back at you while eating with its snake-like tongue. And then, there are those wonderful spots.

I took hundreds of photographs of many special moments with these famed animals. A divinely timed watercolor class fueled a return to the medium and led to this series.
