SAFARI PARTNERS
Photography, creativity, learning and travel are all enhanced by the support of others. This page contains links to those who offer creative and technical support to me in my professional life. They are also good people with whom I've enjoyed many years of relationship as a photographer. I recommend them to you as resources for your ongoing photography safari.
PHOTOGRAPHY SUPPLIES
Borges Imaging website is packed with all things a photographer could need or desire. You can order online and it will be shipped to you. But nothing beats dropping in to talk with the team and get a hands-on experience with the gear you're interested in. Borge has over 40 years experience and is always on the look out for the latest technology and equipment. Frances and Sam are passionate about photography, across all the products, and offer loads of friendly advice and expertise.

PRINTING & PROCESSING
CPL Digital is where the "rubber" of photography "meets the road" of reproduction. I use them to print my fine art work for corporate installations and exhibitions, and pretty much everything else I don't print myself (they are one of the very few Hahnemühle Certified labs in the country). I totally recommend you have a look at their website to see the wide range of services and technical support they offer. The team of Darren, Carleene, Roger, Asko, Kim and Bryan (the man behind it all) together bring huge commitment, experience, skills and expertise to everything they do.
