t was a wonderful way of spending the last dawn before my birthday this year. On a beautiful saturday afternoon, not sure whether it would rain or shine, we all jumped into the car and took off to Nieuw Amsterdam, where the Suriname River and the Commewijne River join before flowing into the sea. Historiccally this has been one of the principal points of defense back in the days when Suriname was a colony and French, English and Dutch would fight for the riches of the land.

I think I got a beautiful sky as a backdrop to my two beautiful models, Kimberly and Valerie. While Fausto was working the reflectors, and Naomi guiding the poses, my 7 year old son Kyle was taking snapshots and "polaroids", I had to work quickly to catch the last rays of light.
