PROMOTING THE VISION: By the Year 2020 more visitors will be attracted to The Bahamas by Bahamian Art,Culture and Heritage than by sun, sand and sea.

It is my pleasure to

introduce the newest

addition to the

Doongalik Family, my

first grandson, Tobias

Blue, who is already

wearing his Doongalik

logo outfit with pride!

Artists Statement: The spider and the spider web was one of

my very first shooting one early morning using a 200mm lens and shootinginto the light of the spider and the web, thereby creating the effect as

though it was dancing in the light.In my regular early morning ventures in the yard, I was amazed at myfindings....At first there were no plans for a nature exhibition and although Iam not a nature photographer, it all sort of evolved.... through out the yearsand finally there are forty to fifty readily and exciting, colourful and breath-

taking images from my yard that I would like to share with you.Although I have not exhibited since 1999, I have through those fifteenyears been busy creating and documenting (shooting) Bahamian scenesand lifestyle.The images of the flowers, gooseberries and birds were all documented in

their natural colours and there is no assistance from any computer applica-tion to enhance their colours after creation, neither during the printingprocess. I am delighted to be mounting this exhibition and would like view-ers to take away from the show an awareness for ordinary beauty that is

right within our vision.
