Shakin' Not Stirred in the Bahamas


Traveling the world and making videos is truly a dream come true for me. I love the creative process with audio, video and the internet. I've learned to appreciate the work that goes into video/tv/movie production. I know how hard I work to get that one shot here or a certain angle there. Believe me, the magic is in making it look easy. I can't even imagine the work that goes into making action/adventure movies.

Which brings me to this photo. While in Nassau, Bahamas, we were strolling along the marina near the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island when we came upon this fantastic yacht with the name-sake "Casino Royal". Of course, the first thing that popped into my mind was the one and only "James Bond". As is turns out, this is the actual boat/ship used in the making of that movie as some of the scenes were filmed here in the Bahamas. Very cool, indeed! It was fun to allow my mind to wonder and pretend as if I were in a scene from James Bond; the night sky, marina, Bahamas, music in the background.

Unfortunately, I quickly realized that instead of being in a Bond movie, I was simply in a good spot for a photo opportunity. Oh, well, it's fun to dream! (And travel to cool places!).
