Internationally recognized photographer Melchior DiGiacomo and Mrs. Chelle Hulford, Managing Partner, of the Curtain Bluff Resort, celebrate the launch of DiGiacomo's new book “Tumperbee”.

The Monograph includes 92 duotone images taken over the last 35 years by the multifaceted, award-winning photographer. The photos chronicle everyday life in the village of Old Road  on the Caribbean island of  Antigua . The intimate black and white photos show a deep love and understanding between photographer and Old Road residents, who gave him the nickname Tumperbee.

The book is dedicated to Hulford and her late husband, Curtain Bluff founder Sir Howard Hulford. The Hulfords started The Old Road Fund in the 1970's to help with education, medical needs, athletic development and cultural advancement for the children of Old Road. The Old Road Fund has since helped hundreds of children on Antigua  and has been a model for other resorts and islands to emulate. All proceeds from the sale of “Tumperbee” will go to the Old Road Fund.  

The limited, first edition books are available for $80.00 + $14.00 S&H (cont. U.S).

There is also a signed book with a limited edition ($100) numbered and signed 8x10" archival print of Morris Bay (the book’s cover photo) available for $295.00 + $16.00 S&H.
