About Andy

 

I am an avid adventurer, conservationist, teacher, and outdoor photographer whose photography celebrates the African landscape and its rich wildlife, people, and culture. My photographic safaris allow my travelers to not only enhance their understanding of photography, lighting, and wildlife, but to develop a life-long admiration for Africa ‘s beauty and culture.

Banana Republic recently used my photographs as the cornerstone of their Urban Safari campaign, and my images were seen in all 750 stores around the globe, as well as in their billboards, catalogs and annual report. I was also the winner of the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year in the ‘Wild Places’ category in 2008 and a highly commended in the ‘Creative Visions of Nature’ category in 2007.

I launched Gura Gear in 2008, in an attempt to deliver lightweight camera bags to the market. I was looking for a lightweight camera bag to hold all of my photographic gear, and there was nothing desirable on the market that suited my needs. After spending 2 years with many prototypes, the Gura Gear Kiboko bag was born. More products are now available on the Gura Gear web site.

My blog has moved!

While I was away in Africa, my blog was hacked. Oh joy. Upon my return home I have spent the better part of 20 hours completely setting up a new blog from scratch, only this time I am not hosting it myself. I am sure that I have some settings completely messed up on my old blog, and I just don't have the time or desire to look into the issue, correct it and make sure it doesn't happen again.

My new blog can now be found on its own domain name, www.theglobalphotographer.com. That's right. Completely separate from my main andybiggs.com web site. I have migrated all of the old content over to this new blog, so you will never need to refer to the old one again. I still have some small tweaks to the overall design, as well as some technical geekery that needs to happen in the background, but overall I couldn't be happier with the new setup. The blog is hosted, which means somebody else gets to worry about hacking, and I get to concentrate on my photography, my photographic safaris, my new camera bag company, and above all else, being a husband and father.

If you have subscribed to my old blog, make sure that you take note of my new RSS subscription link on the left hand side on this page. You can keep track of this blog, and other blogs, using my favorite web page RSS reader, Goolge Reader. I am able to read through dozens of web pages and blogs each day in a short amount of time. Highly recommended.

Sorry to hear about that Andy. It's such a shame. I wish you good luck with the new blog though!
