Congrats are in order for TMAC Alberta Chapter’s
Theresa Storm whose keen photographic eye captured the Excellence in Photography
award from the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) Travel Media Awards. The
organization recently honoured Storm as part of Caribbean week festivities in
Toronto.
The award was for the best image published in conjunction with a feature article
in a Canadian publication in 2010. Storm took the photo in Guyana, South America
(part of the CTO) on a fall 2009 trip organized by the Guyana Sustainable
Tourism Initiative. Storm’s photo and feature article, “Where Mother Nature
still reigns supreme” was published in the Calgary Herald, and subsequently
by the Montreal Gazette, Vancouver Sun, Windsor Star, Dawson Creek Daily News,
The Times – Transcript, Delta Optimist, and Canada.com.
The image captures Diane McTurk, owner of Karanambu Ranch, playing in the
Rupununi River with Buddy, a blind giant river otter orphan. McTurk is renowned
for her work rescuing and rehabilitating endangered giant river otters.
This is the fourth award Storm has received from the CTO. Previous awards
include best online article in North America and twice Canadian travel writer of
the year. Storm’s other Caribbean honours include excellence in Caribbean travel
writing from TMAC.
