The pure emotion of overwhelming excitement when reviewing your old files?

Well, this shoot is not that old, less than 2 months, but going through the series of images we captured on this day got my heart racing, brings me back to this moment in time when one of my all-time dreams came true.

I have had lots of these moments during my career., I have seen some incredible scenes in our world of nature. But this one was special. She is regarded as T19—Krishna. One spectacular animal, nothing else I have seen in the world compares to her beauty. And I really mean Nothing!

Photos never do any animal justice. I use this analogy. Look through a car magazine, and see your favourite sports car, of hot-rod. Mine? A 1971 Dodge Challenger, or a 1968 Charger., seeing the image is one thing, driving it is another. (another dream)

So, face to face with this majestic animal was an experience. 4,000 shots, my wonderful 1 guest took more! We saw Krishna and her 3 cubs on at least 12 different occasions during 16 safaris. I can only hope that they are surviving well, safe, and well-fed for many years to come.

So here she is, the epitome of natures beauty.
