This trip back home was Gail’s first to visit South Africa to experience the place where I grew up, to attend my niece’s wedding, and meet my extended family and friends. This trip would also reintroduce photography as a hobby for me, and the giant leap that cameras have made since my first Canon AE1 that I used (and still have) on my sailing adventure back in 1982. How?
My brother Graham had a Nikon D 7000 and he let me use it during out trip to Tala Wildlife Nature Reserve just outside of Durban. He let me borrow the camera as we explored other parts of Kwa Zulu Natal. Gosh, we took hundreds of pictures and when reviewing them back in the USA is what ignited the spark again. My next birthday gift was a Nikon D7000, and the rest is history.
