First Flight

MalaMala Game Reserve, South Africa

Before the leopards, before the elephants, before I understood just how deeply Africa would change the direction of my photography, there was this little bird.

I photographed this Lilac-breasted Roller at MalaMala in South Africa, and it became the very first bird I ever photographed on the African continent.
