I'm determined to make 2018 the year I work harder than ever to make the most of every opportunity on offer. Life's too short so remember to live it like it's the only one you're gonna have! Created with

I thought I'd share the story behind the 'African Queen' series of images I took while working for a small coastal conservation charity in Madagascar.  We'd been working in the field for a couple
