Tiger book is here!!

The tiger book is finally here!!!! I have published it officially this morning and both the Collectors and Standard editions are available from the online store, and this is the only place they are available at present. The book aims to raise funds for tiger conservation and is my first self published book. Anyway it is best to take a look at the online store where full information is given, including a look inside and customer testimonials. Priced at £25 for the standard edition and £89 for the collectors edition, a must for any animal lover worldwide.

Happy Days!

The talk last night in Leeds was really great and I am still buzzing today. A great audience, great organisation and having my Edge of the Circle exhibit outside made a really nice package. I really love giving these theatre style talks as it gives me the chance to show my enthusiasm and passion for wildlife, the challenge for next season will be to present a completely new talk for the 2500 people who have seen the 10th anniverary one so far. I have some good ideas so watch this space. Anyway we still have two talks left for this season (Southampton is now sold out), the next is in Cardiff on March 14th in a spectacular theatre venue. Click here for full details and come along, I will not disappoint you.

Today I have driven the length of Wales, what a beautiful country it is that I now call my home. I cannot really go into details yet but I have been working on a couple of very special projects that will tax my experience, skill and patience as a wildlife photographer to the limit. I will have to be very creative and almost at my most careful as the species concerned is highly sensitive and one mistake will be a costly one. Still I enjoy working under this pressure and the conservation benefit of this work, to both the species and the wonderful people involved in the projects that I met today, will be more than worth it. Details as the project unfolds but watch this space! I am off tomorrow to London for a talk at the National Geographic Store in London on Tigers. Nothing surprising there except that it is my most scarey audience yet, 8-10 year olds!!!! Argghhhhhhhhhh. So I have tried to write a fun presentation that will appeal to them and keep them interested but my god am I scared! But it is sooo important to get the younger generation involved with conservation that I am determined to do a good job, I will let you know how it goes if I survive.

Andy @ Focus 2010

I have been at Focus now for as long as I can remember and my presentations are always so well attended. This year I have been asked by Nikon and Paramo to attend for three days and I will be at Focus now for the 7th, 8th and 9th of March (Sunday / Monday and Tuesday). I will be doing several interesting events there, here is an overview, details and timings at the end:

Nikon Talk - I will be giving a talk on my Top 10 images from the past year and also some of my favourite experiences on the main Nikon stand. I promise that this will be fun and inspirational as always so I hope to see you there as I will be showing you some awesome pictures.

Tiger Book Signing - Regular followers of this newsletter will know that I have had a few problems getting the tiger books here in time for the exhibition and Focus. The problem is that with the world wide recession large numbers of the merchant shipping fleet in the far east has been mothballed, hence consignments are sitting at Hong Kong docs for weeks on end. Mine are now at sea but since they left late they would have missed Focus. Luckily I had 500 sent to the National Geographic Store in Singapore, I have now managed to re-route these by air and they will arrive in the UK this week. Wow what a Saga! Anyway I will have all 500 at Focus!! So if you want to get a personally signed copy of Tigers, a Celebration of Life, and donate 25% to tiger conservation then look me up at the Nikon Gallery and on the Paramo Stand.

Charity Print Critiques - I am always asked to critique photography so new for this year at Focus I will be giving some picture critiques priced £25 with all this money going to charity. These will be on the Paramo stand at various times over the three days and on the Monday morning with Damien Demolder the editor of Amateur Photographer magazine. You cannot book in advance for the critiques, just turn up to the Paramo stand and and they will have my booking schedule for the day. The critique will be limited to three prints and I promise I will be constructive and nice!

Vanishing Worlds exhibition - Nikon have brought my Vanishing Worlds exhibition to Focus and built a special gallery for it. The exhibition consists of 40 stunning prints to suit all tastes and entry is free. I will be hosting my tiger book signings for Nikon at the gallery.

So there you go, a very packed itinerary. To see what times I will be where just click here for the press release, you will find my schedule on the second page. Hope to see you there!!!

Little Chaps

It has been a strangely de-motivating week as I have not felt like doing much and have really had to push myself to get out. This is mainly due to the pressure of work at the moment with lots of projects in the starting blocks, plus the stress of trying to get my tiger books here on time and out of the clutches of the ocean! Anyway I did manage to get out a little so here are a couple of fun images, not award winning but still good enough to post and all thanks to the D3s and a little matter of timing!





My yellowhammer project for this week has not been that successful, I have a few images but my search for a feeding site near to Wales continues......

Nuthatch

A new hide today with Welshie James and working well. Specifically targeted at Nuthatch and Woodpeckers, it will take a while to get going but this is not bad for the first try anyway!
