Dallas/Los Angeles/Charlotte, NC — As our ESCAPESEEKER film team makes final preparations to return to the islands of French Polynesia for the filming of the hour-long episode entitled, TAHITI:  OH HEAVEN’S HEAVEN, we are enjoying sifting through thousands of images captured during our (ART) Advance Research Team’s visit last October.  And, what we’ve come to realize is, it is not only the majestic, jaw-dropping, goosebump-producing landscape of French Polynesia combined with our thrilling adventures that drive us to return–but, rather the never-ending warmth and engaging spirit of its people.  

Our Assistant Photographer, Peyton McCollum, an avid nature documentarian, also has a real gift for capturing faces–particularly children’s faces–especially in Tahiti where they seem to just follow her around.  Maybe it’s because she’s a real kid at heart?  Peyton’s childlike wonder for our beautiful world never ceases as proven by the 33 countries she has already explored with plans to visit 36 more, oh probably in the next three years or so!  Peyton is a true ESCAPESEEKER.  But her real motto should be, “Have camera will travel”…Team, as you may recall, her camera was glued to her the entire time we were in French Polynesia…and that includes underwater!  For as she pointed out, “Every moment in Tahiti is a photo-op!”  Gotta lover her!  Thank you Peyton for helping us shape and script a beautiful ESCAPESEEKER episode. Together with Sr. Photographer, Justin Grant, you made quite the team.  Ok, cinematographers, you have one tough act to follow.
