Marc DeLucia: "Need a Job? Head to Alaska for summer money." the headlines read. In 1992 I traveled across the US from Texas to Alaska with a friend who was a photographer. I purchased a manual Pentax K1000 and learned to use it on our road trip to "The Last Frontier". I fell in love with the landscape and took pleasure in trying to capture it on film. For me, photography opened up a door to a whole new way of seeing and appreciating nature and its surrounding landscapes. It helped me focus and take time out to really notice the beauty of the world we live in. Alaska was an amazing experience that evoked my interest in photography.

It was a later adventure to Vieques when my one week vacation turned into a 13 year residency. The raw beauty of the island instantly drew me in and kept me here. Whether it's a sunset after a great beach day or taking photos while touring around on my paddle board, I always try and take the time to snap a picture or two. I find inspiration through photographs and through my photography I hope to contribute uplifting imagery and a unique perspective of the beautiful world we live in.
