Tippi Benjamine Okanti Degré, daughter of French wildlife photographers Alain Degré and Sylvie Robert, was born in Namibia. During her childhood she befriended many wild animals, including a 28-year old elephant called Abu and a leopard nicknamed J&B. She was embraced by the Bushmen and the Himba tribespeople of the Kalahari, who taught her how to survive on roots and berries, as well as how to speak their language.

Gorgeous portraits from todays quick shoot.
(my first ever maternity photos)
The munchkin recently grabbed my camera - it’s a common occurrence, all the adults nearby panic a little. I have to assure them that it’s okay, I know she has it, she is allowed and she even knows how to work it!
This particular occasion we were at a Cafe and the mirrored wall had sparked her imagination. She spent at least half an hour photographing herself in the mirror (the new profile picture), having me pose with her and then some photos of the staff and other patrons.
Interestingly, when I downloaded the pictures from my memory card, there weren’t many pictures. This was a little surprising considering she’d been engaged in the activity for so long; but what really struck me was the quality. Each shot was lovely.
Photo of the day: A young Peruvian girl rests with her baby alpaca named Carmelo near Colca Canyon, Peru. There is no such thing as a wild alpaca because they were domesticated several thousands of years ago by the Moche people of northern Peru. During the reign of the Inca empire, alpacas played several vital roles for the Andean people, including food, fuel, clothing and transportation. Because of their tremendous value, the Incan government strictly controlled their use, which allowed alpacas to flourish and reach populations of tens of millions of individuals.
The little one is quite a talented photographer (me thinks!) thanks for my new profile pic!
More photography from the little one. I love how she sees things of interest and has to shoot it. So much like her Mumma!
