My first language was Zulu and I grew up entrenched in the Zulu culture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When I was\u00a0not out riding, I spent time with my friends, hunting rock pigeons or fishing in the Pongolo river.<\/p>\n<p>I \u00a0later went to Durban High School and followed in my father\u2019s footsteps as a teacher. I currently live in the Midlands in Kwa Zulu Natal and am\u00a0married to Wendy and we have two sons.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> <div class='one_half et_column_last'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I \u00a0took up photography in my retirement and only began selling my photographs due to the overwhelming response people have had to my work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My knowledge of the animals I photograph set me apart.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My \u00a0 Website:<\/strong>&#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edschroeder.co.za\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.edschroeder.co.za<\/a> \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<strong>Email is<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:ed@edschroeder.co.za\">ed@edschroeder.co.za<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0or <strong>phone<\/strong> me on +27 72\u00a0148 2458<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">This is one of my\u00a0published and commissioned works<\/span><\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_1885\" style=\"width: 309px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefireflyinnovations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Sawubona.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1885\" class=\"wp-image-1885 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thefireflyinnovations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Wave-Ed-S-Page.gif\" alt=\"Wave Ed S Page\" width=\"299\" height=\"188\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1885\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My commissioned work in Sawubona<\/p><\/div>\n<h6><\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #999999;\">Click this photograph to download an extract\u00a0the\u00a0published work.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefireflyinnovations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Wave-Ed-S-Page.gif\">\n<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class='clear'><\/div><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Below is a collection of my work:-<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\">You can <strong>enlarge <\/strong>the pictures\u00a0by <strong>clicking\u00a0<\/strong>on an\u00a0individual\u00a0picture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[justified_image_grid preset=1 mobile_preset=1 lightbox=photoswipe mobile_lightbox=photoswipe last_row=center]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Below is a collection of my work:- You can enlarge the pictures\u00a0by clicking\u00a0on an\u00a0individual\u00a0picture.
