South African Safari – Addo Elephant Park
I previously posted about Ironman South Africa last April. Well, naturally you don’t go all the way to South Africa for a sporting event and then go back home. Nope – safari time! There are a number of parks and reserves in and around Port Elizabeth, South Africa. To be honest, you don’t even have

Rediscovering America: Shenandoah
In a long(er) blog post in October, I wrote about the benefits of a career that takes you all over the world, and highlighted the fact that being away often helps us better appreciate the natural beauty of our own country – which, ironically, we don’t get to experience all that much. After spending some

I thought the footage went wonderfully with Philip Glass’s “Anthem” from Powaqqatsi. Thankfully, YouTube allowed it, albeit with ads.

Photo: Bug Eats Millipede
I snapped this interesting photo the other day as I was experimenting with some screw-in macro lenses I had gotten in the mail. Here in Namibia, there are millions of millipedes coiled up under rocks, soil, everyplace you dig. So in the course of gardening there are bound to be a few casualties. So this

TAZM Pictures is moving to Africa!
The countdown is on. Three weeks until I’m cruising down the runway, bound for Namibia for a couple of years. What I’m hoping to experience: Okaukuejo [in Etosha National Park] has become world-famous. it is conveniently situated on the edge of the rest camp, separated only by a stone wall and overlooked by a paved
