Last thailand post. Spectacled langurs might not be the rarest species I've ever seen, but with orange babies, white eyes and lots of fluff, they are one of the most beautiful.

A few more of the images I got in Thailand. Mainly in Kaeng krachan national park. The gibbons were incredibly difficult to photograph. Spending all their time 60ft up some of the tallest tropical trees anywhere in the world. The sun bear on the other hand wandered around 10ft from me, unbothered by my presence. And the elephant was a bonus, normally, finding them is difficult and actually getting a decent view in thick jungle is even harder.

Just got back from Thailand and specifically Kaeng Krachan National park. Bit of a hidden gem. Still going through all the images, but finished editing some.

For those of you that know that I worked at monkey world, Stump tailed macaques, are a favourite animal of mine. Tonnes of personality and a fascinating species to work with or observe. Very much enjoyed seeing them in the wild and seeing some stumpy babies.

Not sure which of these images I'll end up printing, so as always, liking your favourites is very helpful. Im guessing babies are going to be the favourites. A weirdly cute mix of tiny old man and baby monkey.

These images are partially from kaeng krachan national park and partially from wat khao tao mo non hunting area near by.

2025. 2 great trips, couple of new landscapes, 2 new products (blankets and lamps) and my new cabin. 2025 was a big year and a big step for my business. I'd like to thank anyone who bought something from me this year and wish everyone a great new year.

Some people have been asking where I will be next year, which is nice. The simple answer is, I don't know. Watch this space.

SOLD! Just a snap shot on someones order today. Its not just elephants, lions and the other big stuff that is amazing in the weird and wonderful places i go to. Love this trio of a leopard tortoise, baby cape ground squirrel and meerkat mum and babies. If you want any of my images as framed prints or anything else for christmas. Nows the time.

Im am very proud to say that I now have a cabin at .

I built the cabin myself, inbetween my recent trip to botswana and have alot of my new images ready to view. Not to get too soppy but this is a big step for me, in a view to getting a more perminant place and shows how far I've come in the last few years.

If you're in the area, please do come down to clarks village and say hello.

Just got back from 3 weeks in Botswana, and there's no doubt who the star of the show was. I went with the aim of adding to my collection of elephants and did fairly well. Here's 40 of the best. I cant decide which to try out as canvases, so as always, liking the images you like the most is very helpful

By popular demand. I try to stick to wild animals in their natural habitats, but people have been asking for Highland cows for a while now. These guys are not bred for meat and are roaming free.

Just spent the last few days updating my website: www.mapap.co.uk You can now see all my images and my products! What a unique idea.

Also, whilst updating everything, I discovered two new images. Having picked out my favourite images from Brazil and India, the remaining were just sat on a hard drive. But I quite like these new/old images. Enjoy!
