The Santago project, in the UK, is under imminent threat of closure unless money can be raised to fund a dramatic increase in the cost of public liability insurance required to keep the project running. The aim of the project is to breed the most endangered types of leopard, particularly the clouded and snow, to be released back into the wild in an attempt to avoid their extinction.

An unexpected hike in insurance, along with critical illness of owner Peter James, puts the popular Rare Cat Project, Santago, under threat of closure unless money is raised for his partner Jackie to continue.

A popular attraction with many photographers and the destination of many photography workshops, Santago was started in 1989 by Peter James and is now home to a variety of Clouded, Snow, African and Black Leopards as well as Puma – totalling 14 big cats.

Photographers who hold photography workshops at Santago, or have done in the past, include Keith Hughes, Chris Weston, Andy Rouse, David Hemmings, Brian Hall of EOS Experience and John Wright of Photographers on Safari.

Unfortunately, Santago have recently experienced problems with troublesome neighbours and to make matters worse Peter was diagnosed with a terminal illness just a year ago and is now in a critical state. To keep the project alive Peter's wife, Jackie, will take over the business, but she has to acquire a dangerous animal licence to allow Santago to continue. This licence requires public liability insurance, now only provided by specialist insurance companies, and initial estimates suggest this will cost over £7,000, an unexpected and dramatic increase from the previous £180 cost.

While providing 24 hour care for her husband, Jackie now has the added pressure of raising the insurance money by 31st December. If the sum is not raised, Santago is in danger of being closed down.

http://Darbz.deviantart.com/journal/14398953/ Wed, 29 Aug 2007 16:54:33 PDT Few new pics up tonight....one from this evening's sunset (this evening being the 29th of August...I'm posting this after midnight but to me it;s still the same day )

I'm pretty pleased with it...I don't do a great deal of low light photography because I don;t have a very good tripod at the moment and my old camera didn't produce the results i wanted in low light...

Also a new one called 'Bird' from yesterday (28th) just because I decided I liked it...he was Hella' sweet...for a bird...

So, thats pretty much all for the moment..just gonna leave you with a few features..because I can.



Gus by Ashgerbil
Everytime I see it I'm impressed, it's eye-catching, I love it..I think you should too, show some love




Little spanish girl by BunnyVee
I love this expression..just think it's a great drawing!




Burnt Soul by Ferruti
She doesn't really need advertising if pageviews are anything to go by..but still..Awesome work!




New Blonde Me by Jen-ee (hey, that rhymes!)
Only discovered her this evening..go take a look...who could say no to a pretty face? hmm?

Thats all for now folks..
Yours Aye.

Sorry about that, 2 new pictures up at the moment...I have a new camera (Nikon D80 for anyone who is interested) and I was testing it out so i went to a local nature reserve...I know the pictures aren't magnificent but they took up the afternoon at least...

In other news, I have a new job! I'm an Operational support grade in Her majesty's prison service..I work at HMP The Verne on Portland where I live and I work nights

There has been some bloody marvelous sunsets recently so hopefully I should have some new stuff up soon...

Meanwhile, in actual news: Back to work tomorrow..not looking forward to that. I need a job that involves me going on holiday and tking photos of stuff..maybe photojournalism? lol only me and every other photographer on here would like that..so not that much competition......yeah your right. I'm screwed..I'll stick to pub work eh?

started playing star wars KOTOR 2 again, forgot how good it is..

anyways, that is all.

I'm really proud of these ones, for a start they are adding some badly needed color into my gallery, also they just seem to be some of the best stuff I've done.. as always comments and critique are welcome..all the comments really mean alot to me because I'm always slightly insecure about my work, never sure if anyone else will like it so it always makes me happy when someone does....

anyway..more updates as they come..

tatty tatty for now.

I took hundreds of photos, most of them unsorted atm, but as they are sorted out and edited and whatnot they shall be added...today there are 4 new ones up, check them out..it'd be very nice of you

Love to Y'all
