After a few years (and a few pissed off girlfriends) you realize that it’s not only about the waves. Probably it’s the impact of all those places you’ve visited. An after-effect of all the pictures you keep looking at once the vacation is over and you’re back home. After all, what does make a session so special? Sharing it with friends, great light and a stunning background? Yes, it is probably a mix of all those things. When you look at the photos back at home, you miss the country, the smells, the things you ate. The noises, the landscapes, and the people too sometimes. There your love for nature at last begins. And here I am, talking about environment, because of course, like all of us, I’ve seen places changing fast. I have mixed feelings when discovering a new area that I find wonderful. Questioning myself on how long this place would stay preserved. I won’t say untouched because of course, it is nice to share and let people see the beautiful things too. As long as they try to preserve what makes it so special in the first place. The tropical zone is split between two kinds of countries: the dangerous ones, where only a few people would plan a trip, and the quiet places. There, some people see lots of ‘development potential’. Such development has the capability to transform the most wonderful natural places into some kind of touristic mall. But in some areas, the nature is so incredibly beautiful and also rough, that not only the locals but also the governments have decided to respect and preserve it. This is where I felt like going this time. Deep into one of the last frontiers. A very small area compared to the size of our planet, but a huge sanctuary for all kinds of species…just a few humans here and there, well aware and dedicated to maintaining the status quo.
