Experiencing Africa

A collection of 100 unparalleled photographs of African wildlife and the indigenous communities who live alongside them by one of the world’s best-known sports personalities. When Hall of Fame pitcher Randy Johnson seamlessly transitioned from his legendary playing career to his lifelong passion of photography, his understanding of timing and rhythm in baseball translated to his ability to capture stunning, split-second moments in his photographs. Traveling throughout Botswana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Kenya among other countries, with camera in hand, he has documented the untamed beauty of this vast region’s landscapes, the diversity of its wildlife, and the vibrant lives of the people who inhabit and care for this land. Together these 100 images become a testament to Africa’s diverse tapestry of life. Jon SooHoo underscores that the same combination of talent, skill, focus, and luck that carried Johnson through his legendary career now tells compelling visual stories that are an opportunity to pause, reflect, and marvel. A must-have for all those who love our planet, this book is a powerful reminder of the importance of conserving Africa’s natural resources and cultural heritage.
