Scotch Macaskill

Curry's Post, KZN Midlands, South Africa

Name's Scotch Macaskill (it’s a nickname - real name Andrew) and I live at Curry's Post, a rural hamlet near Howick in South Africa. Although I originally studied law, a few years of practice as an attorney convinced me that law was not for me so I bailed out and opted for photojournalism. More study, this time a three-year photography diploma. I subsequently worked on newspapers and magazines in South Africa and Australia as a photojournalist and sub-editor, tried my hand as a commercial photographer, and published a monthly newsletter, SA Newslink, for South Africans living abroad (scuttled by the Internet). Next I spent about 10 years working for a small company that manufactures safari clothing. Nowdays work from home, maintaining a few websites and wondering what I'll do when I'm grown-up. Please see my Facebook page for latest wildlife and nature photos.
