About the Author

Amanda Lumry is from Bellevue, Washington. She and her family have celebrated Christmas and the new year in the Caymans since she was twelve years old. Her interest in photography has blossomed since her parents bought her a camera in second grade. In June 1999, she graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University after studying photography in the Visual Environmental Studies Department. She has published two other books entitled Nantucket Borders, and MalaMala: Pathway to an African Eden. Currently, she is working on her fourth photographic book.

Loren Wengerd is from Mt. Hope, Ohio. The Cayman Islands provided a unique opportunity to combine his passions of photography and diving. Currently, he is studying music and photography at Yale University. Loren was also heavily involved in the production of Nantucket Borders and MalaMala. Upon graduation, he hopes to pursue new depths in photography.

Laura Hurwitz lives in North Haven, Connecticut, and has been a frequent visitor to the Cayman Islands over the past four years. In 1998, she wrote the text for the book Nantucket Borders, and in 1999 the text for MalaMala. She is a graduate of Yale University and shares, with her husband and six children, a genuine love of Cayman.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cayman: A Photographic Journey Through the Islands, September 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cayman : A Photographic Journey Through the Islands (Hardcover)

This Cayman photography book is the most beautiful book published on the Cayman Islands. Not only have the photographers captured the beauty of these islands, they have also captured the beauty of the Cayman people by publishing their small biographies. I have been to the Cayman Islands and I love having this book as a wonderful memory of my trip.

Cayman is ideal for the armchair traveler and as a preparatory introduction for anyone considering a tourist vacation or business visit whether for a week, a weekend, or an endless summer!
