About the Author
Raymond Cooper has traveled and lived extensively throughout his life, and though spending much of his time in Hawaii, now lives and writes in Torquay, Australia. He has worked as a lifeguard, flight attendant, photographer, actor, film director, gardener, and more. His skills as both a photographer and a writer allow him to share his most private thoughts and times with others. It was in his late teens that he fell in love with the camera, feeling as comfortable in front of the lens as he was behind it. His writing skills took a back seat to his photography for some years until he realized that both mediums could work well together in expressing his thoughts, his dreams and his experiences.
