Counting down the days until I’m on #safari in #southafrica, framing up pics of leopards, lions & other #wildlife, and sharing a campfire w/ good friends. It’s good medicine for the unhealthy, unnecessary stress we heap upon ourselves, and the “ASAP”, deadline-driven pace we try in vain to keep. #wildlifephotographer #hunting #plainsgame #photosafari #africa #photographer #travel @tightlinesandhugetines @fujifilmx_us #fujifilm #fujigfx50s

Won’t be long before I’m back in #Africa, on #safari with good friends, chasing #bigcats with camera tackle & #hunting #plainsgame. What was once a “bucket list” trip has become an annual pilgrimage, and I’m continually amazed at how I see & photograph things differently each time. Lord willing, there will be many more safaris, each one unique with the sights & experiences it offers up. #southafrica #lion #onsafari #wildlife #photographer #wildlifephotography #wildlifephotographer #travel #travelphotography

Of all the #African #antelope species, #impala are one of my favorites to #photograph. A lot like our #pronghorns, impala rut very aggressively. It's fun to watch the rams fight with and tirelessly run off their rivals, pursue their ewes and vocalize loudly. Though small in stature, these handsome, long-horned antelope are pound-for-pound one of the toughest, coolest animals I've ever pursued. #plainsgame #hunting #photography #safari #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifephotographer #nikon @kariega.game.reserve @waterval_safaris
