Yes, wildlife photography is possible from a wheelchair. I spend a lot of time sitting in a jeep patiently waiting to take photographs. You can be sitting comfortably in your wheelchair. Good luck and enjoy the journey.

I love what I do and willing to take risks to create books for children on endangered animals. But usually, if I do all my research, and have a good local guide, I'm safe.

Thanks. You must go to Africa and follow your dream. I'm so lucky to be doing something I love, and helping children understand endangered animals. I went to Borneo in September to create Ollie the orangutan book. It should be on utube and my website tomorrow.

I wish I could hold a 600mm lense! Just watched your video, it's great! Nice to meet another self-taught photographer. I learnt in the wild with Karl Ammann, a famous wildlife photographer. He was generous with his time and knowledge.

Also see African Safari with Jan Latta on you tube. I filmed this in February in Samburu and the Maasi Mara,

Good to see that not all great pictures are taken with D3's and lenses longer than your arm and more expensive than a car.

You have no idea on how jealous I am of you. I'd love to go to Africa for a shoot, and stay in my hut. Wait till the sun starts to rise go out and take pictures. To learn to live on my own and to adapt. I can't wait to go out and buy your book. Simply inspirational. Makes me want to go out and take pictures again.

I used to have pictures of Africa all over my wall as a kid. Wish one day I'll be the one taking the photos.

Yes, it's a wonderful thing to do. Especially when photographs can tell a story in a book so children can learn about endangered animals.
