Cocoa in B&W

This idea of snapping Cocoa Island in B & W was conceived when i read the coffeetable book about the island. The man behind the immortalization of Cocoa Island - known only as Eric , is a photograher by profession. He has initial plans of setting up his dream home in this small island . However, he got to know that Maldives, at that time, only allow acquisition for commercial and investment use- he decided to trudge thru with this bold venture. Thru the support and help of his friends and investors, he found the means to open a mini-resort , consisting of 5 bungalows. And i guess the rest that goes along, is a mark on the milestone.

Cocoa Island. Come from memories as such. I hope you folks find the beauty as much as i did.

"I wanted to realise my long-held dream to live on a desert island, far away from civilisation, stress and Europe. I am certainly not the 'drop-out' that people might assume, but simply a hopeless romantic, a dreamer, and a photographer by profession. - Eric, 1979"
