In my wild imagination, I’m a safari photographer. If I had the right tools when I was a teenager, I would have saved my pennies to go on safari with Franz Lanting, but settled for visiting his studios and soaking in his art instead. Today I know my limits as a photographer, and can only dream of capturing transformative images of exotic places…

My latest photographic idol… Nick Brandt. I don’t need to say anything… simply take a look at these photos and you’ll see why my jaw is on the ground.
