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!

When I popped in and saw this "Sorrowful" Return...I just had to go to your previous beautiful shot to see what the reason was that you left! hehehe It really doesn't matter, as others have said... we all need breaks from time to time. I'm just so happy you are posting again!! Wish it wasn't Sorrowful though but hopefully all these wonderful comments from your friends and fans will cheer our happy Kai up a bit. :-) Another incredible image and work of art here! The colors are so beautiful...and such intersting light!! WELCOME BACK! :-)

I'm so glad you've come back as your work is too good not to be seen by the world and NZ needs someone like you to put us on the map. This is a great wintery looking shot and looks quite dramatic.

Excellent - i like your tone mapped pictures.

Clearly no-one hates you Kai, you got nearly 200 views from this image. It looks like you are the new Zacko/Andreas. Big shoes to fill. I hope your day for GOM will come soon! I really like this image, one of your 'HDR's I suppose. I would've loved it if the water was all in motion and softened out :D P.S. Thanx for the support lately.
