THE TADPOLE TITANIC: WHEN NATURE SINKS THOUSANDS
I always thought frogs had life easy—look cute, croak, swim, climb on another. But reality showed me I was wrong about the lives of frogs. Privileged and grateful to nature for giving me the opportunity to film the other side of the life of frogs we don't know about. It isn't pretty, but it makes me appreciate every single frog even more, and I hope it does that to every viewer.

OM-1 - BEAUTIFUL BLACK BEAST
This is a dream I never dreamt, a reality I never imagined. In one year, I've had the two biggest achievements of my photography journey (CUPOTY 5 Animals Category 3rd place and OM SYSTEM collaboration) and it means so much to me especially when I look back at how I began this journey with just a phone.
Thank you so much to everyone who's stood by my side. You've all been the fuel that's kept this fire burning. Thank you so much to @omsystem.cameras for believing in me and supporting me with the greatest tool any photographer could want.
I can't wait to take amazing pictures with the OM-1!
What do you want to see first?! Spider with prey? Frog?! Let me know in the comment section!

In tears and speechless, all at the same time.
I never knew it could HIT me this hard 😭😭😭.
😭😭😭
This is unreal. A fairytale. 😭😭😭
12 months ago, I was still shooting with a phone.
11 months ago, I held a real camera for the first time because of all of you.
11 months later,...😭😭😭
And, 😭😭😭 doing this in Nigeria? It's so rough doing this down here and I'm the only one who knows the challenges.
😭😭😭
I don't even know if what I'm typing makes sense, but I just had to type my first hand emotions and not cross-check, lest I edit it.

Thank you @cupoty
Thank you ALL.
This wouldn't be possible without your love and support.

SPECIAL 🐸
I have this ritual. Whenever I see a spider in the house at night, I take it as a sign that the bugs miss me, and there's a special moment out there waiting to be captured.
So I go out with my camera, even if I didn't plan to. Maybe it's just the mindset, but every single time, I end up photographing something special.
When I spotted a new frog in my bathroom, I knew they missed me, just as I missed them. And like always, it meant I had to be outside.
"Special" is subjective. For me, frogs are special.
Me x Frogs = D🐸💚
Special thanks to Chloe for this exceptionally accurate drawing of me and a frog 🐸💚

THE ASSASSIN 🥷🏽
Probably my first time seeing an assassin bug at work, and also my first time seeing a millipede get preyed on.
Come to think of it, it's crazy I haven't even seen a spider take on a millipede before (and those guys eat everything!).
A simple shot, but one I'm really proud of.
Maybe even extra proud... because I love prey scenes.

THE IN-BETWEEN:
1 Minute of Tadpoles Swimming Underwater ☯️
A quiet glimpse into a world most people walk past without noticing. Beneath the surface, it's a completely different rhythm with tiny lives moving with purpose, drifting, darting, growing.
There's something calming about watching this stage of life which I'll call The In-Between. Not quite frogs yet, not quite what they used to be. Just existing, evolving, and trusting the process (like Arsenal fans).
This moment reminded me how much beauty hides in stillness, if we're patient enough to look closer.
Underwater footage shot with the @blackviewlife XPLORE 2, and honestly, this phone is an asset for every wildlife photographer/nature lover.

NEXT GEN 🐸
It's finally frog season.
Waited so long to put the Blackview XPLORE 2 to work like this, and I can already tell it's going to be a trusty companion this photography season.

COILED IN SILENCE 🪱🔇
One benefit of being a gym bro nobody talks about: flipping heavy logs is easy. Last time I did, I found this millipede, and it was the highlight of my night.

No idea what the spider is preying on, but I hope it doesn't choke 😂.

Only Frogs.
Strictly frog feet content.

BEST OF THE WORST 🐸 (1/6)
Every Friday I scroll through hundreds of frog photos trying to pick one to post.
The funny thing?
The best ones were posted months ago.
So what you're seeing today is probably the second-to-worst survivor of the archive.
Be honest: Is this frog a 3/10 or a generous 5?
Happy #FrogFriday 🐸
