Hugh Benson, New Family - John (April theme: Family)

This is a photo of my mothers new husband. We are a close family and I am happy to announce that we all love this new member. John, pictured, decided the best way for us to bond as a new family was a trip... down the Zambezi river in a canoe. We avoided hippos and crocodiles for four days, saw elephants and spring bok and explored an amazing part of Africa. I took this portrait of him one evening on the side of the Zambezi River as the orange sun of Africa was setting. This very intrepid man is at home in this unusual environment and made us all feel at home there as well.
