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 such a wonderful shot! I love the textures in the sand and the details on the feathers. Composition is amazing. The title is brilliant - suits the pict perfectly - nature at it's best!! Very deep words you have up there - I hope that's not from personal experience?! And please get back out there with your camera - you are sooooooo good with it, such a shame to keep you couped up!! xx

ok - is anyone else wondering about the carnivorous nature of a finch?! Very interesting shot kai! composition is great (gotta love the simplicity of it), and the black and white works well for the portrayal of the scene. Get out there and shoot some foggy street scenes, and then use a flash on someone and see what happens ;)

So sad but this is nature. A perfect choice to go with black and white I think. Simple but powerful :-) I hope you are well and have a great weekend! :-)

Now that little bird knew how to make his nest warm. A lovely shot even though it is sad too.

Very poignant shot, but such is the way of nature. Powerful composition!
