I love the experience of taking photos, but I’m still learning how to process them. It takes me a long time to edit them in post.

But when I look at some of the things I’ve seen here in Africa, it always gives me pause. The above photo was taken with an iPhone while rollicking down the slope of the Ngorongoro crater. I call these snaps “moving photography”—I do the same while walking the streets of Arusha.

It’s not a spectacular photo, but to think it was taken in a split second while standing up in an SUV.. it just shows how beautiful that morning was. How beautiful the African continent is.

That’s why there’s a spiritual force here. I truly believe everyone who visits here feels it. This is Africa. The land of mystery, of life, of despair and hope and the wild. Being here connects us to the Earth.

What a beautiful planet it is.
