Thanks to all of our friends and fans who voted for us in this year’s Virgin Island Daily News Best of the USVI contest.

Because we’re not yet well-known on St. Croix, the fact that we didn’t win the territory-wide accolades after the thousands of votes were counted didn’t surprise us.  (Congratulations to Ashley Armitage for that honor).  

On the other hand… we’re pleased to announce Tropical Focus was voted:

       The Best Photographer
of the Virgin Islands on St. John
                   for 2010

Yes – we just heard the good news this week! 

 As most of you know, the island of St. John is our primary studio and we love it dearly and are only one of  over 20 photographers shooting regularly on the island of St. John. Since our fist ad in the VI Daily news doesn’t even come out until this month, this reader-voted award is  especially sweet.  Wow!     

Our special thanks to everyone who has let us take their photographs this year on the beach, at their resort, villa, in plantation ruins, and at many of our island’s bars and restaurants. Without you, none of this would have been possible. 

We promise to keep earning your vote of confidence every single day and with every single photo we take.

Sincerely,

Bob and Karin Schlesinger
