I am a native of Barbados, a small tropical island in the Caribbean, and I have lived my entire life on this island.

I am a photographer with an interest in all genres..... scenery, people, special-effects, flora and fauna, still-life...

....you can also visit my other Flickr account.... www.flickr.com/people/39360369@N05/

I am the photographer for ALL the images in my photostream..... EXCEPT photos of myself (and even some of them are self-taken).

If you are visiting Barbados, you can call me on my phones:

"Stephen is a great guy with a lot of love for his native island Barbados and its people. I'm very happy to be his Flickr friend because through his photos I discovered this "paradise on earth" and fell in love with it as well."

"His photography, like himself, is honest and straightforward. The images range from a simple shot because there is so much meaning and memory behind what you see to pure Art that every detail was observed and worked for. Every time I check my contact page and I see new work from Smendes I click there first and I am never disappointed. I catch myself saying "oh wow" out loud. You can tell that he and his subjects are experiencing pure joy and freedom in their dance in front of his lens as he captures that beautifully for us lucky enough to have found his work. I'm sure all that come here will be as enraptured as I am in the images and stories from the paradise he has found and the wonderful people in it."
