Guestbook

Periodically I go to your live cam on Raleigh Island and save as a JPEG image in a file on my computer.  That little Pitch Pine seems to show some growth over the past couple of years.  Thanks for providing glimpses of "the River" for me during the winter months when I can't be there.

Congratulations and all the best for success in this truly amazing endeavour!!! Can’t wait!!!

I am from Austria and a big fan of your wonderful photos.

When I received the copy of The Thousand Islands - Volume 1 just before this past Christmas I handed it over to my wife, unopened, and told her that it would make a terrific birthday present. Well, today was my birthday and I was finally able to open the package containing my newest treasure! The beautiful photography and accompanying text are marvellous and I find myself looking forward to our next island vacation even more. Having grown up in Gananoque and spending countless hours on the river, it is a real treat to be able to sit down and browse through your beautiful books and to be transported back to the area that I hold so near and dear to my heart, even if it is only in my imagination! Thank you very much for all your efforts in putting these books together - they are truly appreciated!

I enjoy your aerial photography of the islands and have purchased your pictures for display in my camp which is near the Thousand Islands bridge. Your books are on my coffee table and friends always remark how remarkable they are.

Your photography is wonderful, as is the subject matter of your photos. What a privilege to live in such an inspiring and beautiful area. Due to various medical reasons I can no longer fly and have long ago sold my Challenger. It was your flight to Sun 'N Fun here in Florida with Don Zank and Dave Goulet that inspired me to build my Challenger. Eventually, I flew it to central Florida from Southern Michigan, partly inspired by your flights.

My best childhood memories were my summers spent on Basswood Island 1955-1964. I will always love the Thousand Islands. Thank you.

My bride has decided, next summer if we get back to Canada, we're driving from Montreal to the cottage on Lake Simcoe via the Thousand Islands! The pictures are breathtaking. Well done!

The book arrived this week, and is ABSOLUTELY spectacular. I had seen my sister's copy, but it wasn't until I got my copy that I realized how amazing the book is. The pictures bring back many memories, and remind me of some of the reasons why the islands were so special to us growing up. Thank you for your excellent work.

I was raised in the Watertown/TI area and left many years ago. Although I've spent over 25 years living in the Pacific, I look forward to my next trip to the TI and the North Country. Your photos make me want to return tomorrow!

I marvel at your imagination and ability to capture the splendor of our surroundings. We are so fortunate to have access to all these great shots. None of us should take these photos for granted. Only you know the time, effort, interest etc., etc. that has gone into making this 'happen' for us.

A friend recently shared your web site with me and I felt compelled to reach out and say how much I enjoy your work. I am an amateur photographer and recently moved to Sackets Harbor. What a treat it is to see the work you have created here in the upstate region. Truly inspiring, especially after such a harsh winter. Your aerials are amazing and provide a point of view most will never have. Thank you for sharing your vision and art.

Just wanted to let you know the joy that your photographs have brought to my aging father. Dad was born in Alexandria Bay, NY in 1920 and for his recent 90th birthday I purchased your latest book. Even though Dad is suffering from Alzheimer's he was able to tell stories of some of the islands shown in the book. In your travels around the islands if you ever see old postcards from the 1930's to the 50's many were done by my Grandfather William Vesty of Alexandria Bay. Most were black and white and then painted with watercolor by his wife, or so the story goes. My how photography has changed but the beauty of the Islands remains the same. Thanks again for bringing my Dad so much pleasure.

Just love your work and the awesome stories your amazing photographs bring to life! So fortunate to meet you after all these years of being such a HUGE fan of yours... thank you!

My family has been vacationing in the Islands for 15 years...I have every one of your 1000 Islands books...the photography is beautiful..unlike any other. I think I have the pages memorized..I look at them so often!! I am in the medical field and when talking to patients, and the subject of vacations/and or the 1000 Islands comes up, I ALWAYS mention your beautiful books. I only wish there was going to be more.....
