    He has taken some brilliant photos which will not be duplicated for some time. I hope that he made all the animals sign release forms!

    Doing parasitology at Uni was one of the reasons I never wanted to go to Central Africa, he's lucky it wasn't a LOT worse. Great shots but not a risk I'd want to take to get them.

    That is a extreme case of dedication. Love the photos though.

    On the bike, most likely.
    Man's man. What a champ.

    Although I would've probably tried to get some protective gear first.

    well yeah, that thought crossed my mind as well. 3 hours per day, 7 days per week - the *minimum* you would have would be a full wet-suit ! No chance of being eaten alive by parasites .......bizarre that he didn't do something like this.

    Great shots, but I'm not sure they are worth contracting those diseases for! I think I would have opted for trying with a remote rig.
