I was born in Zimbabwe on 03/06/88. My family, consisting of parents, older brother and sister, migrated to South Africa when I was six months old. We moved back to Zimbabwe six years later, to help my grandparents on their farm - a career change for my father.
After a measly eighteen months we upped sticks and went farming on our own. This led us to Kwekwe, in the heart of Zimbabwe, to farm tobacco! Borrowdale farm which is part of the "Midlands Black Rhino Conservancy" is where we settled . This was the most incredible experience, living with such an abundance of wild life ........... of which we became a part of during the school holidays! Due to the "land redistribution policy" we had no option but to move on.
10th November, 2001 saw us arrive in New Zealand with our former lives packed into a suitcase each, ready to start our new lives. Our first three years were spent on the South Island and I nearly froze!!!!!!! A great employment opportunity for my father had us move up to the North Island. I now live on a farm just outside Matamata aka "Hobbiton" (defrosting).
Yep that should sum it up ha!

Oh man! This is just brilliant!!!! The clarity is beyond anything ive ever seen in a birdshot before. Might be because you shot it with your macro. The reflection of that eye....sigh...just too perfect for words Kai. Genious work kid. #;o)

Totally disagree with you. Nature does the art - we just document. She does it better than our feeble attempts of artificial art! Great shot.

Excellent macro! Such eye!

i can see you in the reflection of the eye! I think the detail is fantastic, it's the first thing I picked up on. A touch of burnt out in the highlights.

I had a white dove on a house that I moved into one year! I took it as a good luck sign of peace!

Look at those feathers! So pure and perfect. Wonderful DOF here with the feathers on the far side blurring into the background while those on the close side reveal such detail.
