About
Travel Photography, Commentaries and reviews on various destinations, tours, cruises and so on. Maybe a little 'how to' for solo travel. Especially love the Islands of the Caribbean.
I have been taking photos since about twelve years old. Though my education veered into what I 'should' take instead of what I wanted...eventually passion won out. From the day I realized you could capture a moment in time on film and save to enjoy 'forever', I have been captivated by photography. Although I marvel at what you can do in the digital darkroom, I prefer to leave the majority of my images as natural as possible, or lightly enhanced with 'brush strokes. I rely on composition, lighting, focusing in on the details to convey the mood or story I saw as the photographer.
For fun silly cat videos, gardening healthy living and more just nature photos check out my carapace Cottage channel:
