"Why do you have so many photos on your web?" Here's a short note explaining the how and why of the photos on our pages. We feel that we are definitely lucky to have made the choices we have in life so far and to be able to be doing what we are every day. Our journeys present us with breathtaking views, the stunning displays of natural beauty, the encounters and interactions with wildlife at the most basic level, the experience of seeing the tiniest detail - and it all happens from the comfort of our floating living room. Some of you may look at the photos and think “Oh ya, another tree, another rock, another waterfall, etc, etc...”, but that's not why we put so many pictures online. It is easy to travel somewhere and quickly get an overall impression, but to really get down to the details takes more time. While many of the close-up photos appear to be duplicates of larger photos, it is these close-ups that reveal the hidden details that can't be seen from afar. Many of our visitors are people that for one reason or another, whether it be lack of time or money to travel, being physically unable to travel and even those home- or bed-ridden, may never have the chance to see and experience what we are doing every day. It is for this reason, and for these people in particular, that we have tried to capture and display the beauty that we are seeing everyday. As we continue our global journey, we hope to be able to continue to post thousands and thousands of photos capturing what we are seeing right in front of us for you to enjoy. So rather than just skimming through the photos, take the time to really look at the photos, examine the details and transport yourself from just looking at the photos to actually being part of them. Even if we only ever put one smile on one face we have done what we set out to do Leo & Dean Crew of Mad Dog Voyager Back to our main photo pages
