About Horace's Adventure Travel World
Screensavers, Fine Art Canvas Prints, DVD Slideshows (with Links to YouTube Album Videos) and DVD Videos from Four Decades of Travel Photography
Welcome to Horace's Adventure Travel World web site and store where you will find exquisite color images of four decades of remarkable slide and more recently digital photography from some of the most remote destinations on earth and then back closer to home -- from Afghanistan's Buddhas at Bameyan (destroyed by the Taliban) to Zion National Park in southwestern Utah; from Mt. Kilimanjaro in East Africa to Mt. Kailas in Western Tibet; then magnificent flora images from 'The End of The World' in Tierra del Fuego at the southernmost tip of the Western Hemisphere in Argentinian Patagonia to Fall Foliage in the Berkshires outside Lennox, Massachusetts; Mendocino on the Pacific Coast in Northern California and The Morton Arboretum in the Midwest near Chicago.
Images from more recent travels throughout the United States, Mexico, South America and Antarctica are found on the Home Page in three main categories: (1) Nine extraordinarily beautiful DVD Slideshows & Videos (Argentina-Patagonia's DVD Slideshow of twelve albums viewing time of 1065 remarkable images is almost one hour) with image transitions sequenced to beautiful ethereal background music soundtracks, (2) A Photo Gallery of 18 exquisite images sub-divided into three sub-categories of six images each: Human Interest, Flora & Fauna and City & Landscapes, with all images available in two Fine Art Canvas print sizes (8"x10" and 11"x17") using 200-year archival pigments--the highest available in the industry at present, and (3) the same 18 Photo Gallery Images available as downloadable screen savers. As noted in the Home Page introduction, any image from a DVD Slideshow can be "special ordered" in any one of the two Fine Art Canvas Print sizes as well as any other larger size by contacting Horace at sales@horacesworld.com
Horace Whittlesey was born and raised in Mexico City, holds both American and Mexican Citizenships, did his undergraduate and graduate studies in the United States, served in the U.S. Army in Vietnam and worked abroad for over thirty years in executive management positions with major American international financial institutions and manufacturing companies. Horace is trilingual in English, Spanish and French and has lived on three continents, spending almost fifteen years in Asia, including eight years in Shanghai, China, managing American Standard's Chinese Holding Company and featured in front page articles in the Wall Street Journal and in a CNN segment on successful American manufacturing-marketing operations in the Middle Kingdom.
Horace has had a lifetime interest and passion in photography, world music and adventure travel, which is in his blood. His paternal grandfather named in honor of Horace Greeley (Go West, Young Man!) answered an ad in the New York Tribune at the turn of the century, ventured south--not west--from Kansas to Mexico and became the then Mexican Dictator's, Don Porfirio Diaz's dentist, while fresh out of the University of Pennsylvania's School of Dentistry. Growing up with Trotsky's teeth in a jar of formaldehyde in his grandfather's dental practice overlooking the Palace of Fine Arts in downtown Mexico City provided Horace a unique insight into geo-politics and art at an early age. Horace currently spends half his time between homes in Tampa, Florida, and San Miguel de Allende in central Mexico when he is not traveling.
Thank you for visiting the site and we hope you feel the same sense of awe and wonderment as Horace did when he first beheld and photographed the striking beauty of the people, nature, and art in such vivid colors under extraordinary lighting conditions, thereby capturing so many diverse and beautiful adventure travel destinations throughout the world for your viewing pleasure. Over the years Horace has used 35 mm Nikon camera equipment with Fuji Velvia slide film, and in the digital age uses Nikon SLR cameras and lenses as well as Lumix cameras with Leica lenses by Panasonic. Check Horace's travel blog (coming soon) and this site often for updates on upcoming trips and additions of selected images and DVD Slideshows from four decades of Adventure Travel photography.
