This website began in 2004 to display images taken by Jason 'Benz' Bennee whilst on a four month trip to Jamaica and Cuba. During the trip he took over 5000 images. On arriving back in the UK he started submitting the best images to Micro Stock Photography sites which had just started to appear on the web. He spent the next three years adding to stock library's and building this website with images from an early compact digital camera. Then in 2007 he took his girlfriend Karen for a long promised adventure to Egypt and Jordan, this time packed with two DSLR's and a 80Gb hard drive.
