Copyright Mary Ann Tardif. All Rights Reserved. I believe that a good photograph should be able to create an emotion when viewed. When I chose the photographs I wanted to use in my books, I tried to use those that would present a common theme of relaxation,and a sense of adventure and exloration. I have always loved the islands of the Bahamas, but after finding and seeing the deserted islands and beaches of the Exuma Cays, I have never found the need to visit anywhere else. It is my sincere hope that you will be able to feel the way I did when I first discovered the Exuma Cays, and will feel relaxed. If that is accomplished, then the reason for my book (other than making a little money as well!) has been accomplished. Enjoy your island time and the ocean blue!
