      I am fortunate to have a copy of the book by John Hone 'Encounters with the Dragon'........It was my first true experience on seeing the magic of the Drakensburg. A man I never met ,but his images will always inspire me to visit the Berg and capture its amazing scenes.

      RIP John Hone

      My favorite image to date and one that I have hanging proudly in my studio..........

      Absolutely fantastic... those sky-tones are pure magic!! Thanks for showing me parts of my own country that I've never visited or photographed... this is exactly the kind of inspiration that I'm looking for here on ODP!
