Author of "VIRGIN GORDA: AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT", 2007, a photogrpahy book with 35 personal interviews with people who tell their stories/lives on this wonderful British Virgin Island. The book is available on my website, or directly from me at soncijo@gmail.com, also on the US and British Virgin Islands. SONCIJO VILLA PHOTO BOOKS are different from other professional "brochures" , for they emphasize the concept I used in "Virgin Gorda: An Intimate Portrait", namely a more personalized/intimate focus about yourselves, your family and/or where your villa is located!
