"Why YOU need to take up WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY in 2025. A skill that will change your life."

Nice video about the joys taking up wildlife photography from fellow nature photographer Tom Mason.

One reason he misses off, it that in being close to nature, you garner respect for it and the more people who try it out, the greater societies understanding of nature and eco systems will be, understanding about supporting wildlife will grow.

A Love Letter To A Darkened Tree

A few years ago, I got ill, pretty ill and I've never fully recovered. As someone who has always been ferociously independent, this sucked ass to say the least. I couldn't leave the house but I needed to have something of my own. So, I started taking photos of this tree from the window. These photos have been taken over the course of a year and a bit - one of them you've seen before but I put it in the collection because it's one of my favourites. Thankfully, now I can leave the house and take pictures of other things! Not as often as I'd like to or as far as I'd like to go, but it's better than it was.
I'd like to dedicate this to my partner, who like this tree, has always been a constant, no matter what has happened over these years but who, unlike this tree, does not have branches. Enough about him because he'll start to think I like him or something.
Anyway, have hope and my wish for all of you is that you have a tree in your life too.

TL;DR - Got sick. Photographed a tree for over a year. Still sick but doing better. Tree is still a tree. Partner is a kind of tree.
