For one reason or another, one will rarely find any non-bird two-legged captures in my portfolio. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">After my first few visits to East Africa starting in the mid-80s, I began to encourage my friends and acquaintances to experience the beauty of the African savannah and the vast amount of wildlife that has brought fame to that part of the world. \u2018See it now before it disappears\u2019 was my recommendation to those who may have expressed a life-long desire to witness wildlife in their natural habitat. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I have been organizing group safari trips to East Africa since 1995, and have established a good working relationship with the various hotels, camps and drivers required for a 2-3 week safari. So, if anyone reading this might be interested in a photo safari to East Africa, please contact me with questions and \/ or advice. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">My groups have been mostly limited to 5-8 individuals. This was purposely arranged in order to provide maximum attention to each individual, to help them capture the magical trophy images that will remind them for many years of their once-in-a-lifetime safari adventure. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Complaints I\u2019ve heard from any of my group members always seemed to be that the trips were too short. On the other side of the coin, I\u2019ve received a number of unexpected \u201cit\u2019s the best holiday I\u2019ve ever had\u201d. Also, a number of individuals have joined my safari group multiple times.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s a quick rundown of my photographic equipment:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I have been a Nikon user all of my photographic life, starting in the film days with a Nikkormat FS; and I primarily use the following equipment: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>D5 body<\/li>\n<li>D850 body<\/li>\n<li>24 mm \/ f2<\/li>\n<li>105 mm \/ 2.8<\/li>\n<li>24-70 mm \/ 2.8 VR<\/li>\n<li>70-200 mm \/ 2.8 VR<\/li>\n<li>300 mm \/ 2.8 VR<\/li>\n<li>500 mm \/ 4<\/li>\n<li>TC1.4x<\/li>\n<li>TC1.7x<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">This list obviously does not include any of the miscellaneous photographic \u2018stuff\u2019 that one accumulates to help with various <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">types of shoots.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The images in this website span the years 2000 to 2018.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">They are all available in print-form, in whatever size you may prefer, from 5&#215;8 inches to poster-size.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Please contact me at <a href=\"mailto:Dickk008@aol.com\">dickk008@aol.com<\/a> for prices and any other required information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Note: All funds from these sales will be donated to charities.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Please enjoy the images and post any questions and \/ or comments. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Richard J.
