Sometimes, you meet a guy or a couple who make a difference in the way you see life. Some time ago, I “met” Alister Benn in the forum naturephotographers.net, and I am really proud I did. He and his wife Juanli carry out a lifestyle many people would dream of. The only difference, is that they went for that dream and just made it reality…Living in different places all over the world and carrying with them the most important furniture: dreams, their lives and memories in the form of photographs. What else can you want?
Alister and Juanli are not only exceptional and inspiring people, they are also exceptional photographers and real givers. Their website, www.availablelightimages.com is full with outstanding images and plenty of information. Are you interested in night photography? Go here and you will see all the secrets of night photography unveiled the best way I have ever seen on any book or article…
A few months ago, Alister and Juanli started an environmental project called Future Traders, aiming at promoting sustainability in our lives and urging us to behave in a more responsible way with our environment. This is not a pessimistic project where your conscience is going to be hammered, this is a project of optimism where every one of you is welcome on board, to state loudly that you are out of that conformism which says there is nothing we can do. Future Traders has an own facebook page, to which more and more people is joining every day. I urge you to pay them a visit, and “like” the project. Nothing commercial is involved…By joining you will be just making bigger and shinier that positive mirror of a society which is ready and eager to change the way we live.
I leave you alone with Ali and Future Traders project…I am sure you will enjoy taking a deep look at it!
Take care and great light to you all,
Rafael, I couldn’t agree more with you; Ali is a fantastic guy, and although we’ve never met in person, I’ve appreciated his friendship and image critiques!
Great post.
Cheers,
Greg
