hello BT,

I would like to announce that Wilna Groenenboom (you might remember her for her famous drift wood art and antique houses series in Bonaire Reporter) is presenting her book "Document Bonaire" at Buddy Dive's Pool Bar on August 9th between 4 and 6 pm.
As a matter of fact, one edition of this book is laying right next to me at the very moment, what fascinates me the most about this book, are the lively, vivid and modern pictures, pictures that tell a story of what living on Bonaire looks like, photographs not taken out of context to make Bonaire look romantic, but a clear vision of Bonaire in present - a memento - which raises also questions of which direction does Bonaire want to go in the future, photographs that leave you with afterthoughts.
the contents of photographs are categorized in: history, economy, transportation, culture, nature, sports, life, future.
Wilnas compassion for Bonaire, and everything and everyone on Bonaire and the responsibility that comes throughout such a compassion is the core of this book, the photographs make you wonder, feel, aware, shock, love and wish in many ways, to protect and also to be proud of what Bonaire represents right now and also leaves you with the awareness of how it could become in the future. Document Bonaire - truly captivating.
Please consider to go to this presentation.
