Thanks for the link.
Those are some impressive photos of time gone by. I was impressed by the elephant tusks the most.

Reminds me of that Jackass episode, when those crazy fellas dressed up in a zebra suit and got some lions all worked up.

Kathi,

Author Nigel Pavitt is someone I met while living in Kenya in the mid 90s. Lives in Karen near Nairobi. He's ex-King's African Rifles, and author of some very fine illustrated books, including one on the Turkana. Uses a medium format film camera and had not switched to digital when I last saw him in 2004.

Regards, Tim

I bought the book from the Borders book store today. This is a must have for anyone who loves "old Africa". The photos are phenominal.
