Michael Toogood has opened a new door onto these islands and his breathtaking photography gives a vivid insight into the places and the lives of the people who live there. There are some fascinating archive shots taken by his father, the late Stanley Toogood, who during his fifty-year career as a commercial photographer in The Bahamas, catalogued the growth of the modern Bahamas until his death in 1987. This photographic tour of The Bahamas includes an introductory text by Bahamian journalist and writer Larry Smith.

Life as I remember it,

This review is from: The Bahamas: Portrait of an Archipelago (Hardcover)
I worked in Nassau in my twenties for two years. This is a pictorial book with a minimum of text. I liked the balance between pictures and text. The pictures encompass all my memories of the place. The detail is there. Above all the exceptional colours are there. Quaint village life separated by water is there. It is an outstanding pictorial account of the Bahamas which is beautifully described. I am very grateful.

Nice but not enough ocean shots,
By Ann (South Dakota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bahamas: Portrait of an Archipelago (Hardcover)
This is a nice book with some nice pictures but i was hoping for more ocean and beach pictures...its mainly pictures of the towns, buildings and local people. I would have enjoyed alot more beach pictures considering the bahamas have so many wonderful islands...
