Bright Eyes

Title – Bright Eyes
Date – August 2003
Location - Ile Sainte Marie - Madagascar

Some places that you find yourself in can really make you sad about the state of the country and the world, which allows misery to exist in so many places. But behind every dark cloud there are the bright eyes of a new generation that have yet to be dragged down by the world in which they were born. The world can seem hopeless, but it deserves to have hope and here in these children, there is always the hope that there is a bright future that belongs to them.

This has long been one of my favourite photographs; it fills me with hope in a country where sometimes you feel there is very little for most people to look forward to. Photographs are very personal and introspective by their very nature, they always mean more to the photographer then anyone else and you will return from a trip with your own set of memories that you will spend the rest of your life trying to communicate to others and probably failing.

Beyond The Blue believes that there is an appropriate location for almost everyone who has even the smallest desire to travel, we can help you decide where would be best suited for you, a place where you will be comfortable, safe and where your dreams can be realised. We will through our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop give even those people that don’t have the confidence to go, a helping hand to achieve their goals. ‘Being prepared’ is not copyrighted by the scouts.
