I’m just back in Nairobi now, but wrote this a day or two ago. The image above is from Lake Naivasha, not from the Boma shoot, for which you’ll have to wait to see images once the client’s had first crack at them. As I write this there’s a large bull elephant about 18 feet from my bed. We’re at …

One last full day here in Jamaica. The sun finally came out and I traded my sweater for swim trunks and my snorkelling gear.
