"A thousand shades of blue. The Maldives is often called 'the last paradise on earth' and offers indeed all the right ingredients: pristine tropical islands with swaying palm trees, pure white sand beaches and brilliant turquoise lagoons. A last minute, all inclusive holiday to one of the Maldives many hotels, resorts and islands is a dream come true for both people on their honeymoon and divers. Most resorts, hotels and islands on the Maldives offer all inclusive diving packages. This is an excellent way to see the true highlight of the Maldives: the underwater world, with an amazing number of fish in all fantastic shapes and lurid colors, dolphins, whales and manta rays."

Nor the Conde Naste Traveler. Nor the surfing O’Neill’s.
Nor do I hang around, loitering the sets of Playboy.
It's a hard choice not to.
Besides the money, fame and the perks those big guys throw around,
it's as much a wish as a need, for any aspiring photographer.
What I despise, though, is the attitude.
The bigger the name, the worse it becomes.
Maldives is small. It's impossible not cross each others paths.
Especially when those paths are queued with egos, sneers and
trucks.
Trucks of photo equipment the big-namers carry around, to, perhaps exaggerate the bigness of the game.
Oh!
Photography has become a game?
I thought it was all about moments, creativity and hard work.
I have seen Smarties being exchanged for smiles.
I have seen photographers bargaining with the power of greenbacks($$$).
I have seen magic. The special disappearing act performed by many hasty pros, (without even a thank) in search for the next, award-winning shot.
I am just being jealous. I know.
I am cheap.
I never, ever, offer anything in return for my photos.
Except love.
My people love me, just as I love them.
I also know that I belong. In Maldives, it’s difficult to navigate
the terrain, nor, dodge the beaurocracy that arises in the rush of the moment.
Talking of trucks of photo equipment,
I wish I could land up a decent job, so I can ditch this throw-away pocket camera and invest in a DSLR.

Welcome to Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa. Whisked by private speedboat from Malé, discover the charm of a Maldivian village on a private coral island in the turquoise sea. Palm-thatched bungalows and villas line the white sand, or rise above the crystal water. A spa on an island of its own offers soothing Asian secrets. Sunrise, sunshine and sunset paint the endless sky.
