South African wedding day 5: Shorty
By nealejames | April 3, 2007
To redress a little balance for a moment. Reviewing the blogs from this assignment in South Africa, you’d start to believe that you’re witnessing the dawn of my animal photography career. I didn’t get the chance to pop up a picture of Shorty in the last blog. So here he is. A diminutive chap, (now what gave that away?) Shorty shows the scars of a life breeding the most dangerous hunters barring man of course. His stories include facing out an adult Lion, that allowed to wander the house as a pet, one day found his natural urges somewhat stronger than the tame variety. “Never turn your back on one of these beasts,” Shorty growled in his harsh Africaans inflected English, as he dragged from his woodbine. “That’s why I am still alive today.”
