I am perhaps the least experienced photographer of the bunch. I photograph because I am on safari. I didn't go on safari to photograph. This group - because they are photographers - really take the time to stay with the animals and take time to absorb every detail. That's what I was looking for and what I found with Ingrid. And literally making my way on foot through “the impenetrable forest” ... is as unique as the intense look in the eyes of a gorilla or chimpanzee. I have gained some unique experiences (with photos to look back). I also learned more about photography in these 12 days by the way than I have in past years, from Ingrid and the other participants.

-I’ll never forget-
