Absolutely Fabulous!!

"Hurricane"
"Salt Island"
"Island Panoramic"

I'd thought I'd share the most beautiful photography I have seen of this island. His name is Gary Felton. Read on.....

Photographer Gary Felton’s life has revolved around the visual and sensory experiences of the sea, and producing arresting images of the ocean and all that is related to it. A professional sailor and vessel captain for may years, Felton combines artistic sensibilities, photographic expertise, marine knowledge, engineering training and most important, a passion for the ocean, to create award-winning photos.The California native became the youngest diving instructor in the United States in 1967 and studies Oceanographic Engineering at the University of California. In 1973 he received his BA from Brooks Institute of Photography. His interest in research photography led to winning 14 underwater photography contests in two years. He continued to pursue his dual love of photography and the ocean, to include a position as photo editor of Dive magazine, prior to relocating to St. Thomas in 1986. His images have appeared in Cruising World, Sailing, Yachting, Sport Diver, & US News & World Report. Felton’s work is not only limited to the sea. He is a leading commercial photographer in the Virgin Islands, photographing just about everything from scenic scenes to jewelry. In the spring of 2003 he was awarded 3 Gold medals and a silver in the ADVI awards for photography and design.

As a photographer at heart, those are absolutely beautiful pictures. Landscape pictures are the easiest yet at the same time the hardest pictures to capture.

Amazing stuff, Nylsa! Thanks for the recommendation!

Sorry I missed you while I was in town - forgot to get your number from Gigi before we set sail...

Looking forward to seeing you when you're in, or possibly sooner - I'll be back in Charlotte Amalie on December 24 for the day...

Until then, take care, and have fun!
