“From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free.”

Who we’ve worked with

 

 

Armando Jenik 2007

    “Connor Fitzpatrick has been helping us [PhotoBoat] cover local events this summer on Long Island Sound. He can call Longshore Sailing School his turf, and he’s done a great job capturing the kids in action. See the photos here. Connor got the hang of PhotoBoat-style photography very quickly- understanding how important close-up shots are and maneuvering confidently and safely in the dinghy. His AP photography training and professional equipment made the technical aspect easy for him. Connor has also done a lot of underwater photography and studied under Armando Jenik, who we had the pleasure of working with while shooting for Yacht Shots BVI in 2006.

    He’s got all the skills necessary to do well in this business, including a great entrepreneurial drive.”

“Finding Connor has been so inspiring to us all. He is an outstanding young man who really cares about the environment and puts his passion into action.”

    “This year Manfrotto supports Connor Fitzpatrick a very talented and promising student who will join one of the most outstanding and adventurous expeditions ever attempted in Antarctica. 2041 is much more than a simple mission, it’s a long term project, and it’s the attempt of informing, engaging and inspiring the next generation of leaders to take responsibility, to be sustainable, and to know that now is the time for action in policy development, business generation and future technologies. The project is led by Robert Swan OBE, the first person in history who walked to both the North and South poles.

    Connor, whom we are very proud to accompany in his expedition, was immediately hooked by Sir Robert’s charisma, dreams, ambition and leadership. His explorer instinct was activated and there was no stopping him. So on March 13 his adventure is going to start…

We are sure that Connor will be able to amaze us with the story of the mission upon his return, and above all with his wonderful images.”
