"Lui is just the best.
He's a tireless adventurous explorer and a photographer extraordinaire who uses his enviable camera array to produce the best shots, diagnostically & artistically, of the species, rare, unusual and otherwise, that he finds in his treks. His deep understanding of ecology and planetary process leads him to places few ever find and we are all blessed to have him bring back the evidence and present it to us all so magnificently.
Well done Lui.
Cheers!
