For all of you that feel that staring at your computer feels like you are staring at a wall of tools, and you don’t know what you need to fix the problem, here you go! This is my first free desktop wallpaper, and all you have to do is drag the image on to your computer or right click to save it. The dimensions are 1440X960, so it should fit a good deal of the 15″ laptops out there!

Often times, photographers get wound up in all of the gear that’s available to them (I’ll admin, I’m one of them, and if you say you’re not, you’re partly not telling the truth), that they forget exactly what they do. Sure, some lenses are made quite a bit better than others, such as the screwdrivers on the bottom shelf, but remember, what’s more important is what the different types of lenses do, not necessarily which one’s better!

More to come…

The two portfolios are titled: Timeless Africa Collection and Colors of Africa Collection. Clicking on the names will take to their respected features in his announcement, however the full announcement is linked above. I have been following Andy’s work for a some time, and I am always excited to see more.  I see quite a bit of the same material coming back from photo safaris from many photographers, but I certainly enjoy Andy’s most unique perspective.  The photos in the portfolios he has made available are just that – utterly unique and beautiful! I get to work side by side with one of the nation’s most respected wildlife photographers, so I would like to think I can give a well-learned opinion on this work, and it really is something you should all see (whether or not you are a photographer, wildlife enthusiast, conservationist, or just plain interested). I know Andy is proud of the images, as well he should be!

As I mentioned in an earlier post, while you’re over at his blog, The Global Photographer, take a look at his Web site and online portfolio, as well as his much-acclaimed photo-gear bag, Gura Gear. I hope to have mine soon, as I am anticipating using it quite a bit when Spring hits and teaching university intersession and workshops begin!
