- Time stopped just for a split of a second, between note and note, to show us that spontaneity comes from the hearth. Amidst the streets of Saint Petersburg a band plays to remind us that the past never really leaves the present. A girl escapes her mother and starts to dance. The little girl doesn't care about anything and her hands and feet move gracefully, sometimes following, sometimes anticipating the flow of music coming from the band.

- I was taking a picture of my drink in St. Thomas when all of a sudden I heard a little kid scream at the top of his lungs: "He's coming! Watch out!" I decided to acknowledge his warning by looking to my right and all of a sudden I saw this large iguana opening his mouth for my drink. He snatched the orange and quickly chomped it down. With out any fear he marched onwards proclaiming victory. Iguanas 1, Humans 0.

- The relationship between the cowboy and the bull fighter isn't often the focal point of a rodeo, but some might argue that it is one of the most important. In this photo taken at the annual Yellowstone Roundup, the relationship is shown, as is the bravery of the bull fighter and the trust of the cowboy.

- Upon returning from a safari in Mount Kenya, Kenya, we came across this gentlemen transporting a coach. As I live in Bermuda where the main mode of transportation is mopeds, I was blown away with this true act of balance. It gave us all a great laugh!

- We stopped in the small village of Mocambo after a long day along the dirt roads of Bahia. Walking through the village we could hear the kids laughing and as we caught up with them they were all to excited to have their photographs taken. There is such beauty in the simplest times of life.
