Excellent stuff.

mobs00 · 22-07-2008, 07:36 PM

Here are a few more.

This barking deer I got when I was sitting at the small mineral lick.

This one wandered into camp. There was also a mineral lick at the ranger station and this was where it was headed.

This was the snake that had just eaten a bird.

This bird has a spider in its mouth.

These butterfly's were licking salt off the boots.

The reflection in a pool of water.

I met with Bruce today and saw his new book. Awesome photos and the book is something like 320 pages long. Mostly photos this time around so it should be an easy read for most of you

sunsetter · 22-07-2008, 09:34 PM

where do i/we get hold of the book?

mobs00 · 22-07-2008, 09:52 PM

^ it won't be available till the end of next month. All the major bookstores will carry them , ie. Asia Books, etc.

His name is "L. Bruce Kekule"

He has 3 books in print. The first one probably isn't available anymore. They are:

1. Wildlife in the Kingdom of Thailand

2. Thailand's Natural Heritage

3. Wild Rivers

After seeing Wild Rivers today I think it is going to be his best one so far.

I have recently talked with Bruce and he has been floating around TD. He is busy with his book launch but says when it's done he plans on writing some threads and putting pics on here.

He has much better stories than I do so I'll be looking forward to it.

Tues, September 16 - Book Launch: Wild Rivers - A photographic odyssey in Thailand, text and photographs by L. Bruce Kekule (7:00 pm)

Book Launch: Wild Rivers

A photographic odyssey in Thailand, Text and photographs by L. Bruce Kekule

Tuesday, September 16, at 7:00 pm
No cover charge

For more than 12 years wildlife photographer Bruce Kekule has devoted his life to Thailand’s wild flora and fauna – so that others can appreciate the beauty of the natural world. ‘Wild Rivers’ is his third book – an amazing collection of nearly 400 photographs of many endangered Asian animals and watershed habitats, and the stories behind them.

Five important rivers in the west and north are featured in this 320 page book: The Phetchaburi, Huai Kha Khaeng, Mae Klong, Khwae Noi and Mae Ping, along with chapters on nature photographers, wildlife photography and wildlife in peril. Many creatures seen here are close to extinction in our fast changing world, which seems unforgiving and distant from nature. Over the years, Kekule has used film cameras and in then 2005, started shooting digital. He has also produced his own
custom-made infrared camera-traps to capture on film many rare animals like tiger, leopard, gaur, elephants and many more.

Born in Sacramento, California USA in 1945, he grew up in Hawaii for 12 years and then 1958 moved with the family to Hong Kong for another six years before moving to Chiang Mai, Thailand in 1964. He now lives in Bangkok with his Thai wife, their daughter, son-in-law and two grand daughters.

Bruce continues to fight for the conservation of the Kingdom’s precious animals and intricate ecosystems. His ambition to produce wildlife books is ongoing, and believes photographs are one of the best methods to increase awareness and protection of the natural world.

Copies of his book will also be available for purchase at the entrance throughout the evening, priced at 1,800 Baht.
