Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards Winners and Their Amazing Travel Stories – 10 Pictures
This competition is beautiful and funny, but when you think of how those cute photos were taken and how adventurous the lives of photographers are, it becomes simply unbelievable! The founder of this award, Paul Joynson-Hicks, is a photographer himself. Born in the UK he moved to Africa and established a number of fundraising initiatives and funded his path in managing photo safaris for tourists. By the way, a photo trip to African wild lands in his company is, among other prizes, granted to the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards Winner. Everyone can be one by the end of the year!
