Joshua and I met on a Transatlantic voyage in 2018. Regarding his photography, one word describes it best: "Infectious".

Nothing compares to sailing into and through a fjord. The experience is serene as the ship glides through still waters on misty, almost eerie mornings. As time passes, sunshine touches one’s spirit and inner self while illuminating the ever-changing landscape. The low-lying coastline grows and emerges into cliffs and waterfalls surrounded by majestic, snowcapped mountains. The ship invariably ends up at a tranquil little town or village.
​
Around every twist, bend and turn the fjords present new and increasingly spectacular sights. Sailing the reverse route back to the North Sea provides the greatest dividend as one witnesses the fantasy again. No two voyages are the same. Each brings new sights, a sense of presence and a different view.
