About this ebook

Pete Oxford is an award-winning photographer with images and stories appearing in the likes of National Geographic, BBC Wildlife, Time and Outdoor Photography Magazine – which named him one of the top 40 most influential nature photographers in the world. He has travelled to each continent many times. Wearing different hats, he has been privileged to know many of the world’s most remote and pristine destinations as a professional wildlife photographer, an expedition leader on adventure tourism ships, a professional naturalist and on his own personal quests. Pete has a deep knowledge of all things natural and you will find yourself enthralled by this collection of short stories from his exhaustive travels. At times you will laugh out loud at the hilarity of the tales, then be blindsided by a short, thought-provoking sentence. Pete reveals his most embarrassing moments, his fears, his triumphs, his insights and his uninhibited passion for the wild. It is an inspiration to immerse yourself on a journey of adventure and discovery in the natural world.

Pete Oxford

Pete Oxford is an award-winning conservation photographer specialising in conservation issues, wildlife and indigenous cultures around the world. With his wife, Reneé, they also organise bespoke travel, for small groups, to some of the world’s top wildlife and cultural destinations. They have worked many times on every continent. This book is a collection of short stories from their exhaustive travels, some with clients and some alone. At times, you will laugh out loud at the hilarity of the tales, then be blind-sided by a short, thought-provoking sentence. Pete reveals his most embarrassing moments, his fears, his triumphs, his insights and his uninhibited passion for the wild. He is a very knowledgeable naturalist and has spent his life in the company of wildlife. He is often asked, what does it take to be an international photographer capturing unique images of endangered wildlife. This book has many of the answers, however, it is not in the least a ‘how to’ book but rather the adventures that life has taken him on whilst in pursuit of experiencing the breadth of this vulnerable planet, since before he even used a camera.
