Africa 2005

As seen through the camera lens of Richard Daniels

He knew Africa’s cape buffalo could be dangerous and unpredictable. He also knew they were strong — the males weigh around 1,500 pounds. But the one thing Richard Daniels never expected was how cunning the huge beasts could be.

I actually thought cape buffalo were kind of stupid But then saw a herd of them take on some lions It was like a chess game, watching the lions and the buffalo go back and forth gaining and then losing ground The buffalo are actually pretty smart, he said.

Daniels was in Kenya last November (2005) on safari During the 18-day trip, he got to do a lot of shooting but not with a gun. Instead, he was taking pictures with his camera The photos from his trip are on exhibit at Mohave Community College’s Lake Havasu City campus now through Sept 22, 2006.
