Hello Mike, I actually stumbled upon this website doing some research about Guernsey and I am absolutely stunned by the beauty of your photography. It is nothing short of brilliant in my humble opinion as a writer and artist. Have you ever heard of Redbubble? It is a website for artist,photographers and writers and has wonderful works from all over the world there. I would love to see you post some of your work there and share it with the rest of the world. You can also put it on T-shirts and wall Art for sale or for your personal collection if you so desire,(come and join us). You are a true...true artist my friend and I wish you luck,love and prosperity. Mike P (^ , ^ Art with an Attitude)

I agree with Kees. The colours are amazing and wouldn't look at all out of place in a travel brochure. So, is Guernsey any good for camping and cycling? I might go!

Kees Terberg	PM reply	14-Jan-2006 20:45
It is refreshing to see great colour shots of Guernsey. I am far more familiar with the monochrome shots by a fellow islander Nick Despres. I followed the link from the forums about a travel photographer taking shots at home as well as abroad. You advertise Guernsey beautifully. I really love the tidal pool.
