I am pleased to announce that the National Geographic Web Site is now featuring a story I shot about Portland, Oregon. It will be published in the November/December 2009 issue. A web gallery of additional images is now available on National Geographic Traveler’s web site and can be viewed here. I love it and I hope you do too.

Hi Susan,
great to meet you today in Bathsheba.
Love your web site, huge variety of projects and eye catching photos. You obviously enjoy your work, which I am sure helps you to get through the tough parts.
I know how it can be as my step father was a photographer too.
He showed me how to set the aperture and exposure time on my primitive bellows camera, then process the film and make the prints in the dark room. Bit different now huh?
Next time you come to Barbados (to surf) you may want to check out my place on the south coast………
It took me 2 years to build.
We have really good surf on the South coast between early Feb and late April peaking in March. Just step out on to the beach and surf right out front.
My wife is Thai and is an awesome cook. We provide Thai food for our guests on request plus Thai massage after a hard day’s surfing……..paradise or what?
I wish you success in your assignment here and hope you manage to come back to Barbados one day.
all the best
Mark
