ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Wild Africa is an image that embodies the essence of my remote collection of Cheetah while working in Kenya. Its an image that yields an exclusive perspective that directly places the viewer in close sights with the fastest land mammal on the planet. A unique perspective that offers a glimpse into the primal presence of these iconic predators - the photograph allows for an encounter that few have experienced and live to tell about it. With Kilimanjaro in the background, this is quintessential Amboseli at its best - as this Cheetah moved toward my gear and closed the narrow margin of this image.

Working in the wilds of Africa has been a dream come true. Karen Blixen once wrote "You are never more alive than when living among Lions," I have found this chapter in my life to be most rewarding as I continue to journey and explore the majestic wildlife that is Africa.
