Andy and Lorrain Tinker met in 1995 and soon after decided to veer away from their careers as a fashion photographer and medical doctor to pursue their mutual love of the bush and of wildlife and landscape photography. Tough times were endured through hard work, determination and a great vision. They have moved from Johannesburg to a more natural and peaceful environment near White River and the Kruger Park where they live with Jade (born in 2005), Jamie (born in 2007) and 3 demanding cats. Life with a small family and loads of new projects in the pipeline is busy and chaotic as ever, yet interesting, exciting and full of surprises. Most birthday calendars are digital these days but digital can be so impersonal and not always reliable. At Tinkers we have some stunning birthday calendars. The years don’t have to change and the days are marked by numbers only. These calendars are designed to have enough space in which to write the name of the person who is having a birthday on the date of the month on which they are having it. Instead of the normal, conventional calendar that is larger and often more of a square shape, the birthday calendar is much smaller and it is shaped like a vertical rectangle. The need for a birthday calendar might not be obvious to everyone but with our hectic modern living it can be so easy to overlook a special someone’s birthday. While the general design of a birthday calendar will remain the same, the decoration or calendar theme will change from calendar to calendar. This is what makes a birthday calendar not only a wonderful thing to own but also a wonderful gift to give. A birthday calendar is a very personal gift to give and you can make it even more personal by adding the birthdays of the people who are close to the person receiving the calendar as a gift. An English theme usually consists of the typical English cottage as well as the flowers and animals that are native to the region. For example, when autumn comes around the decorations on the birthday calendar will change to colours and images that are suited to the season. The calendars with South Africa’s most beloved and well known animals known as the Big 5 used as the theme, have images of a wide variety of South African animals for each new month.
