My last post for 2016 For those of you who have been reading my post and looking at my photos I thank you for your kind words!!! And for those who didn’t I hope I inspired you!!! This year has been an amazing year for me. Full of unforgettable moments with unpredicted events. As I like to say, it’s been the greatest and the most challenging year of my life. Quitting a daytime job, trusting in God when everything falls apart, getting my photographs published, evolving from an engineer to an artist, life on the road as a travel photographer and then falling in love with the most amazing girl… I won't lie, I’m sad for the year to be over. Once again as the year comes to an end I want to thank, those who believed in me; the brides and the grooms who trusted me to capture their special moments, to those who gave me the opportunity to photograph their sublime residences, exotic hotels or that all important corporate commercial shoot. Thanks you!!! To the others…. well what can I say hope our paths meet in the new year… And to my fellow travellers yes it’s true that travel changes us in many ways that we don't often know until much later down the road…… so thank you for your insights, stories and smiles…………. I remember them all…. someone once told me that “you are only as good as the last photograph you took” so make it count; on a bad day make good art……. on a good day make good art…. feeling down & sad make good art….. feeling happy make good art….funny situations make good art… as, there is nothing to be afraid of, true art creates itself, trust your belief, wait and listen and while you’re listening, you will discover something precious,…. yourself... And here’s to the New Year… I am sure its s going to be an awesome one Happy Adventures…. hope you have many….

I I almost did that!! “Can you speak and understand Spanish?”. “It’s not worth the risk; just go see it on Google”. “Are you crazy?! Those border crossings are dangerous!”. Such were the questions I encountered from friends. Most intriguingly, the phrase: “I almost did that” kept coming up in conversation. Just then at that moment I could sense the lingering regret behind that world, I knew that I had to give into my pilgrim soul; for as a little boy, I always dreamed of these far-off places and yearned to unearth and understand the lost civilizations. Oh, how does one explain what one does and why one does it! I guess it is a blessing and a curse of the calling. With that thought, I embarked on an epic adventure of a lifetime to the land of the Mayas, a highly-developed civilisation that flourished and vanished without a trace in the Central Americas. From crystal clear seas of the Caribbean to the deep underground caves of Central Mexico, my adventures saw me dive into blue waters of secret centos in the Yucatán Peninsula and scale the new worlds’ most impressive pyramids. I hiked through the thick, dense jungles of Guatemala, before ending my excursion by looking down on the lost city of Tikal. I experienced the smoking volcanos of Costa Rica. While I travelled I was disappointed to learn that Columbus was nothing more than a gold hungry Spaniard who destroyed as he discovered. I’ve journeyed on chicken buses, private vans, back of pickup trucks, cycles, boats, and ferries. I walked for miles across each of the borders crossing into Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. In my quest to understand the culture and its people along the way, I ended up meeting and making new friends, some for life and others merely for the moment. I have witnessed some of the most dramatic landscapes in the world and marvelled at the sights of golden sunsets and star-filled night skies. over 9000 km later, on a rainy and wet December morning, I arrived in Panama City, safe but thoroughly exhausted. One rucksack, three guide books, stacks of well-worn maps and a mind filled with memories and no urge to say “I almost did that!!” Random Thoughts 5th December 2016 Panama
