(i) Wildlife Safari and Conservation: Click here for Kenya Portfolio

(ii) Travel with Media Haus Productions in Papua New Guinea to document World Bank program in Port Moresby as well as a trip far far into the wild of what is one the most unexplored countries in the world: The following is an excerpt of the latter:

Latest trip to Papua New Guinea, was to film and photograph remote highland regions in the western province that could only be accessed by chopper. Purpose was to document the impact of telecommunication networks/ towers being built and how it will affect settlements and villages that have little if any contact with the outside world. The photo is one of the mountains we landed on, which was surrounded by jungle that blanketed everything for as far as the eye could see.( Cloud covering the peak prevented the chopper from landing the day before, despite several attempts). It was an incredible adventure into areas few outsiders have ever seen.

(iii) Hitched a ride on a dredge boat the size of a football field, to intercept the humpback whales that are visiting Moreton Bay. At sunrise there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Within hours a massive electrical thunderstorm hit the Bay and Brisbane, with winds hitting at 140 kph, and set to grow. Harbor base alerted all ships of nature's onslaught, and the drama on the high seas unfolded in spectacular form. Have yet to post the tale.... here's a photo taken after the storm passed.
