an african photographer

i absolutely love photography. there's just something about being able to capture that perfect moment that is so thrilling to me--and probably about the only thing in this world that i have the patience for. i don't have any fancy cameras, just my little canon powershot. and even though its not the most expensive camera out there, i still love trying to get that one snapshot where a picture is truly worth a thousand words.

i found this guy, nick brandt, from london, who takes incredible photos of wildlife in east africa. he doesn't use telephoto lenses. instead, he gets extemely close in order to capture as much of the sky and landscape as possible--"to see the animals within the context of their environment".

truly amazing.
it makes me want to go on safari. =)
