I am 58 years young, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm a true product of my continent. I love the bush, the animals, sunshine, sunsets - oh well, anything to do with nature. I am unmarried and have three sons - 37, 33 and 30 respectively and three granddaugters aged 12, 6 and 4 respectively and obviously the light of my life! Photography has always been a passion and I have loved it since I can remember. I was still using a SLR camera and only switched to digital only in late 2007! My other passion is travel and I have been lucky enough to have travelled fairly widely. There are however still many, many places I would love to visit "one day." I am truly an amateur photographer and do it merely as a hobby. So please be gentle when you comment on my work. :-) Thank you Piet, my dear friend, for convincing me to place my work on Renderosity. You owe me one! Hugs, Carin xx

Such a marvelous giraffe photo and so up close and personal. I'd also love to experience Africa.

Wowie! What a beautiful creature; I should so much love to feel them, the way their skin moves over their bones, and that stiffer-than-you-might-expect hair. I don't imagine they'd stand still for it, though! Fantastic capture, you lucky thing, and Happy Birthday Chip!
