Hi fellow Wildlife art lovers everywhere!
I have often wondered what inspires
people to do certain things or pursue unusual career paths. Only
by talking to these people or perhaps reading things about them
can give you a little insight into their chosen careers.
I could now elaborate on myself,
my personal details such as credentials, list my numerous awards
or waffle about my life story. Instead let me, if you will, 'set
the scene' for the nucleus of each photograph which then leads
on to the artworks I produce and also helps explain the reasons
why I pursue Wildlife art.

Have your eyes ever been caught by
such an amazing, enchanting image that you feel you can barely
move, let alone breathe? It is such an extraordinary feeling;
it's as if all that exists in this world is this moment, this
breathtaking moment. You feel any movement on your behalf will
spoil this visual experience - Your chest tightens as you try
to regulate your breathing, which you know is erratic. Then, all
of a sudden it has gone, disappeared forever, that magical experience
you have shared with an animal or bird.

mind, I remember that chest tightening feeling when I came face
to face with an African Bull Elephant; the sun was just rising
behind him and his skin glowed a beautiful yellow. I was completely
in awe of him, his impressive size, his complete magnificence,
his large tusks and his tiny inquisitive eyes. In sharp contrast
I've looked into the eyes of a male gorilla in captivity, through
my telescopic lens. I saw his eyes, not challenging as the elephants
but absolutely soulful. Tears came down my cheeks as I recognised
the hopelessness of his caged and lonely existence.
On a lighter note, I have laughed
as I've fed giraffes and marvelled at their long tongue, big beautiful
eyes, and sensed there gentle nature. The meerkats are also amusing
to observe, they hustle and bustle about their business, inquisitive
cheeky and completely hyperactive. Great social structures can
also be observed from these little animals, not as complex as
ours, but we are hard to beat in that regard.
Once I was frozen looking down my
camera lens as a camel came closer and closer until he was out
of focus. I looked up and we were face to face, he seemed to think
that I was with the Ute that brought his hay, the disappointed
look on his funny face was priceless. I must admit you realise
you're becoming a tad obsessive when you find yourself on all
fours stalking those cheeky little wrens through the grass. These
birds never seem to stay still when you have a camera in tow,
they dare me 'take a photo' - if you're quick enough, too bad,
too slow!
All these little happenings, plus
a myriad more are the reasons why I chose Wildlife art as my vocation
and I feel it my obligation to record these events for people
everywhere who are looking, but just don't see.
Best Regards
Angela
