Clinton`s intense longing to wander the world has since brought him to every continent & face-to-face with the world`s most spectacular cities, breathtaking landscapes, diverse peoples & exotic wildlife, & all the while documenting his travels with his camera & journal.

From Namibia`s towering ochrecoloured sand dunes populated with crying hyenas, to Antarctica`s stark snow-&-ice covered peaks, Clinton`s powerful images reveal moments experienced in places most readers can only fantasise about.
