Kenya with Paul Renner and Jim Zuckerman
 

I am happy to announce that from September 25 through October 11, 2007 I will be co-leading a photographic safari to Kenya with world famous photographer Jim Zuckerman.  Jim asked me if he

recruited the photographers, would I lead the trip with him?  How could I turn down an offer like that! I am happy to announce that the safari is already sold out and we are looking forward to an incredible trip.  It will be an exciting trip because he has recruited photographers from around the world.

Client's Photos

We had a great group of people on our trip to Tanzania last February!   Dick Shaughnessey came up with the idea to take 4 or 5 photos per person, that were taken by safari participants and post on my web site.  I liked the idea and because it was Dick who came up with the suggestion so we'll put him first on the list.  

Just click on their name and it will take you to their photos.  I think that after seeing their photos that you will agree that you don't have to be a pro to get great photos on out safaris!

Just click on the names below to see their photographs!
