Meet Captain G-A -- Cruise ship Captain and Photographer (what a job :)
Edited on Thu May-25-06 04:53 AM by wakeme2008


This is Captain Geir-Arne of the Seabourn Legend and he loves to take pictures. :) I have spent many hours going through his photo albums at http://www.captain-ga.com/ There is something to be said about a job that takes you around the world, and gives you the time to take photos. :)

The above picture of him was taken by a poster on Cruise Critic forum named Norm2002. Norm is a British traveler and photographer that is best known today for his pictures of



The pirate attack on the Seabourn Spirit in Nov 2005. (Norm when a RPG is pointed at you, may I suggest a VR lens or a tripod :rofl:

Norm has recently put together a video of his pictures on his recent trans-atlantic crossing and I like it It is a tribute to the crew and the last photo is of Captain G-A and his other hobby. http://www.myphotopages.net/legend/index.html LOL on board he did a talk on photography but they did not want him to talk about pirates...

I will be on a sister ship the Pride in Nov. down in the Caribbean and just booked my "In Search of Lost Hobbits Cruise" :rofl: on the Celebrity Mercury in Dec 2007.... Ah New Zealand... camera...... I can not wait.....

1. Just as long as he doesn't want to specialize...
...in close-up photos of icebergs! (Near, far, whereeeeeeever you are... :eyes: )

...just booked my "In Search of Lost Hobbits Cruise" on the Celebrity Mercury in Dec 2007


I wonder who you'll get as captain for that cruise? It certainly won't be the captain of the Mercury up until last week -- he was busted for what I guess you could call "SUI" up here in Seattle. (Cue the chorus of What Do We Do With A Drunken Sailor? ;-) )

2. LOL all Captains drink at times..
Just NOT in port with US officials onboard. :dunce:

God I hate ships the size of the Mercury but it is doing New Zealand very very well.....

I like the smaller ships and the three Seabourn sisters have a little play time area.
