Say cheese

I'm one of those travellers who always has a camera in hand. I document every journey with a thousand pictures and, while some people argue the travel experience is richer without a camera in tow, I wholeheartedly disagree.
I'm not alone.
I wouldn't consider myself a great photographer, but I'm pretty proud of some of the shots I've taken during my travels. Opportunities for photographic genius abound around the world; the secret is to find a place where it is especially difficult to take a bad photo.
This is one of my favourite pics, three old friends resting against a backdrop of colourful colonial buildings in Trinidad, Cuba.
Check out some of our Thorn Tree photo competitions for more inspiration.

that's a beautiful photo
every great journey needs a soundtrack: it's just, having never brought my own, mine have been supplied by chance or inspiration.
Those pictures are lovely. That picture reminds me of the one my wife took me of in Dublin. It was the perfect set up - an old building and I'm leaning up nochanlantly - definitely wasn't a rehearsed shot!
Thats a great photo. I went to Cuba last year and really enjoyed it.
I agree, that is a lovely photo. It's real and unposed, even though the old guy is 'shy'.
I just love that photo.I wish I could take such moving pictures.
