Happy New Year everyonel,

Its been a while since I’ve been active here ever since my subscription expired. It sure hampered me browsing through everyone’s new deviations, so I subscribed myself for 3 months!
Sorry I can’t comment on many of your deviations as there are around 3,000 in my devwatch, but below a few of my favourites.












I hope to be more active on DA in the near future as I haven’t yet found a photo hosting site which has a community aspect to rival DA. Although DA does have its downsides, its community aspect and great people I’ve met on here is what keeps me from leaving completely.


In other news

I’m off to Kenya for 10 weeks in October, November and December later this year to take part on a charity project for Mottey African Development. I am doing a sponsored SKY DIVE while on holiday in New Zealand on the 9th February (less than 3 weeks away) and I’m absolutely $hitting my pants!
I have a sponsor page if any of you would be so kind to take a look at and sponsor me. Its all done online, safe and secure. In return I will send you one of my prints as a thank you. Once you have donated money on my page, please note me giving me the details of your sponsorship and which print of mine you would like. If the deviation you want is not in my print shop, please let me know and I’ll get it added.
It would be great if you would help promote my sponsorship page by including a link to it in your journal.

Many thanks!












Travel news

In less than 3 weeks I’ll be heading to the southern hemisphere. I’m off the New Zealand for 2 weeks doing a tour of both the north and south island, then hopping over to Australia to spend a week in Adelaide and a week in Sydney before heading over to Dublin for a few days before returning home.
I’ll be in New Zealand between 4th and 18th of February, Adelaide from 18th to 23rd and Sydney from 23rd to 28th then Dublin from 1st to 3rd March. If anyone is interested in meeting up, or if you know of any places I must visit while I’m away then send me a note.

At the end of the year, as mentioned above, I’ll be off to Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar for 10 weeks for a charity project. I’m really looking forward to it. I know it will be immensely hard work, but will be deeply rewarding, and a once in a life time opportunity to see an amazingly beautiful part of the world. If anyone has any ideas for fundraising please note me as I have an extremely short time frame to raise the funds to be able to go.

New deviations coming soon!

Thank you, well I can only thank the people i watch for the inspirational photography that comes up in my devwatch!

By the way, what are internal flights in Africa like? Have you been to Africa from SA before? Interested in maybe heading down to SA for a while after my charity thing has finished and wondered how much an internal flight from Kenya/Zanzibar might be?

I don't want to be weighed down carrying loads of gear, especially over the period of a month. I'm staying at hostels too so its not going to be the best secuirty. Tempted to take fish eye to get some cool landscape shots. Need to get a compact tripod too! Mine looks like a viscious weapon at the moment!
