About this Blog

When I first started blogging it was to show off what was then my very limited photographic skills as well as the area I live in.  But as with most things this blog (and perhaps even my photography and writing) has evolved.  In many ways The Firefly Photo Files has become an unofficial photographic guide to this beautiful country I live in, its travel destinations, animals, bugs, birds, plants, flowers, history and culture plus some other stuff.  A reference guide to (not quite but nearly) everything South African. 

So what can you expect?

How to be featured in a post

If you would like your attraction, restaurant, guest-house, event or anything else featured in a post, contact me on fireflyafrica@telkomsa.net. I don’t ask for payment for posts, but I would appreciate it if you issue me an invitation to visit your attraction, stay at your guest-house, eat at your restaurant, come to your event or take part in your activity at no expense. As I tend to take a lot of photographs where ever I go and thus often do more than one post, you will receive fair exposure in exchange for the value by being featured on the blog. You will benefit in these four ways:

1. You will get direct exposure for your brand amongst my readership and even though the visit is sponsored the posts stay impartial and honest and won't be an advertorial.


2. The chances are good that pictures of the destination / activity / establishment will also be posted on Port Elizabeth Daily Photo (if its in or around PE) and / or RaakREIS.


3. The Firefly Photo Files link to a number of Facebook pages and profiles as well as Twitter profiles. 

4. If you have a website of your own, I will insert a link to your website / Facebook page from the posts featuring your product.

Have a look at the Mini vs Maxi Adventure across the Eastern Cape 2011 to see the exposure received by the Eastern Cape Parks and Tourism Agency and the products who sponsored and were visited during the trip.
