About the Item

Available sizes: 18” x 29.52” - Edition of 8 28” x 45.92” - Edition of 8 38” x 62.32” - Edition of 6 48” x 78.73” - Edition of 6 Photography is usually about freezing a moment in time, but this image is so much more than that for me. It encapsulates an entire day I will never forget and a lesson: never give up and always remain patient yet determined. In my experience with leopards, I have found that time spent with them almost always begins and ends in seconds, often too quickly for a photograph. We found this handsome male leopard fast asleep on the edge of this rock at 7:12 a.m. I could never have imagined that I would be sitting in virtually the same position until 7:21 p.m.! 12 hours with a leopard was a first for me and my guide, who has been guiding in the Serengeti for nearly two decades. Over my years in the wild, I have realized that things don't often go as planned and that the shot of your dreams could be waiting for you around the next corner. I was en route to drop a friend for a flight when we stumbled upon this leopard. Thankfully, my friend agreed this was far too good of an opportunity and decided that missing his flight was a wise idea. We spent the entire day with almost no food and drank very little water to avoid bathroom breaks, which could have lost the photograph. Would I do it again? 1000 times over! This photograph will be printed once payment has been received and will ship directly from the printer the artist works with. Your certificate of authenticity will be shipped separately from your print and in most cases will ship directly from the gallery. The Gallery is more than happy to provide clients with the next available edition number, however, the Gallery can only guarantee the specific edition number the client will receive once payment has been received.
