Frith, born in 1835 of former slaves, was the son of a father, who was also a photographer. The early photographers Doane and Robinson specialized in portraiture. John Athill Frith, in addition to portraiture, was known for his moonlit landscapes. Possibly the best known early photographers were J. B. Heyl, who established his photographic business in Hamilton about 1879 and as known for his landscapes and N. E. Lusher, who appeared on the Hamilton scene about 1882. He is known primarily for his portraits and has the reputation of being one of the island’s finest. Additionally, he was on friendly terms with George Eastman, the founder of Kodak. Other lesser known photographers were J. B. Astwood, J. A. Fox, J. F. Darrell, John Rogan, L. G. Swain and Frank Richardson, who was possibly a relative of John Athill Frith. Indeed, these lessor known photographers are hardly known at all. Here is scope for much interesting research. John Athill Frith was in a similar position until about a decade ago, when he was “resurrected” by Nan Godet, a keen researcher, then working in the Bermuda Government Archives. The Bermuda photographic scene was given additional impetus with the rise of tourism, beginning primarily in 1883 with the visit of Princess Louise. Soon after, visitors, mostly from the United States began to arrive, some with photographic equipment. Several stand out, including Marriott C. Morris and Arthur Leslie Plimpton. As tourism developed, a Government Trade Development Board was established, primarily to promote tourism. In conjunction with this, photographers and other artists were hired to help advertise the beauties of Bermuda. By the time we reach the 1930’s 40’s & 50’s, the golden age proudly sponsored by the

Yikes! No Spikes! Let’s be honest. I don’t think anyone has moved the golf shoe market needle this much since the Golf Manual of 1857 advised newcomers to invest in a stout pair of shoes roughed with small nails or sprigs to march comfortably and safely over the slippery ground. Freddie Couples could be called a marketing genius except that he was only trying to find a shoe that provided relief to his aching back. Now his sponsor ECCO Shoes is enjoying the spoils of something that money can’t buy; consumer pandemonium and potential market saturation! The new ECCO Golf Street Premiere was introduced this week on-line at www.eccousa.com following Couples march through Augusta National and a final sixth place finish in the years first major golf tournament. Unless you wore a 7.5 (41), 8.5 (42) or an 11.5 (45), all other sizes were already sold out by 5:00 p.m. EST on Monday following the Masters final round. I have to believe that Foot-Joy Execs and designers absolutely flipped as golfers may realize that spikes are not as necessary as we once thought. Augusta National may be one of the most hilly courses that the PGA Tour plays all year and yet Couples strolled down the slopes and up over the hillocks with the greatest of ease and without socks. I wonder if anyone noticed he doesn’t wear a golf glove. I have to say that Freddie appears to be the most relaxed golfer on the PGA Tour. That syrupy swing, calm demeanor and charming personality have helped Freddie become one of golf ’s favorite sons. What a pleasure it is to watch someone who gets so much enjoyment from his profession and harvest that enjoyment in his own way. This isn’t the first event that Freddie has sported the stylish ECCO shoes. The shoes adorned his feet at the Mitsubishi Championship in Hawaii where he finished second to Tom Watson and then followed that up with three wins at the Ace Group Championship, the Toshiba Classic and the Cap Cana Championship. If all it takes is a pair of casual leather uppers with a funky colored sole, sign me up. Amateurs may notice some slipping due to excessive lower body movement, but the advantage is that you can finish your round and head for the beach without changing shoes. Whether you’re a Freddie fan or golf aficionado, don’t you have to get a pair of these crazy shoes just so one day down the road you can say, yep, I had a pair of those! Enjoy life, your golf and all those special things that make it just a little more special. Thanks Freddie! You made my day!

ACCOMMODATIONS & Fractional Ownership Guest ACCOMMODATIONs Bermuda’s resort hotels, cottage colonies and guest houses range from cosmopolitan to cosy, secluded to opulent, ocean views to golf courses. Your desires, dreams and requirements will come true in the many styles of accommodation that are available in Bermuda. You might choose to stay in a cottage that has been built on stilts over the ocean with a sunset that goes on forever. For something a little different still, choose to stay on a luxury yacht and experience a unique perspective that will be all your own. If you are seeking some personal time, take a massage and facial from the many spas that are located in the resort hotels before your evening entertainment begins. If one of Bermuda’s golf courses gives you passion, choose the many resorts where the backyard is the first hole. The ocean view is often distracting, but remember to keep your head down. The islands of Bermuda offer the style of accommodation that suits the most discerning visitor. You will fall in love with Bermuda at first sight. Go one step further and discover the fractional ownership opportunities of owning a piece of the rock. A handful of beautiful specialty resorts offer properties for purchase. There are no limits, so “feel the love” of Bermuda.

Envisioned as a strategic British military outpost that would make Bermuda the “Gibraltar of the West,” the Royal Naval Dockyard was built by slave and convict labour.

THE UNFINISHED CHURCH Duke of Kent Street, St. George’s The impressive Gothic vestige that looms over the town of St. George’s was begun in 1870 as a replacement for St. Peter’s, which had fallen into a state of serious disrepair.

CATHERINE St. Catherine’s Point, St. George’s Fort St. Catherine stands on the site of one of the four towers that Governor Richard Moore erected along Bermuda’s coast around 1613.

Dining in Bermuda is an experience on its own. Imagine that you’re at one of Bermuda’s pink beaches savoring a local delicacy, the Bermuda fishcake sandwich. If you would like to experience what Bermudians love, then you would order the works. An old-timer once told me that Bermudians invented “the works.” Even if that statement isn’t accurate, the Bermuda fish sandwich with the works is like nothing I have experienced before. Local and internationally recognized chefs create a dining adventure that will take your taste buds to a new level. Wines and spirits from around the world will be matched to perfection with each course. Go back in time; several restaurants date back to the 18th and 19th centuries. The globe is represented in the restaurants that dot Bermuda and it’s easy to locate a restaurant close to the ocean, with views that will inspire all your senses.

He emphasizes that he likes to ‘create’ what his customers want, then acknowledges that this should be the role of a true chef, one who has been trained by the best. The happy atmosphere in his lively restaurant is enhanced by the fun music, the wonderful indoor/ outdoor bar and dining, and of course the views of the waterfront. “When my customers see their food, I want them to say, “Wow!

Imagine … Sustainable Seafood Huh! Did you know Fairmont’s Hotels and Resorts worldwide removed threatened fish species such as Chilean Sea Bass and Blue Fin Tuna from their restaurant menus? “In Bermuda, they have a partnership with SeaChoice, a sustainable seafood programme based in Canada, which advises them on the seafood they offer on their menus, so that Fairmont guests continue to be provided with a comprehensive selection of sustainable seafood choices,” says Christopher Chafe, executive chef, The Fairmont Southampton. Chef Chafe continues, “Locally, we limit our seafood purchases to four local fishermen who understand and abide by Fairmont’s commitment to sustainable seafood. In the United States, we buy from Foley’s in Boston, a designated sustainable seafood company that sources its seafood only from sustainable sources.” Put into practice, Fairmont’s commitment to ocean sustainability means working with reputable suppliers who purchase fish that are resilient to fishing pressure and harvested in ways that limit damage to marine or aquatic habitats. The end result: healthier practices flowing down to suppliers, who then offer better choices to restaurants. In addition, by promoting awareness and sustainable alternatives among its guests, Fairmont hopes to play a role in influencing and shaping the tastes and preferences of guests who care about the future of the planet. Fairmont Hotels & Resorts’ dedication to the protection of the environment goes well beyond helping conserve species that reside in the sea. On a wide-ranging basis, Fairmont maintains a comprehensive commitment to purchasing local, organic and sustainable food items whenever possible. Thomas Frost, Executive Chef, The Fairmont Hamilton Princess, concludes, “It’s important to note that good environmental practices do not mean guests at Fairmont restaurants miss out on world-class cuisine. Rather, they feast on various fish caught or sourced in ways that ensure their continued survival.”
