I am a physician, musician, photographer and writer. Having recently relocated from the UK after a decade spent there, I am currently based in Goa, India.
I am an ardent musician. I have played in several orchestras around the world as a violinist, and still continue to play with the Corinthian Chamber Orchestra, London. It is an intregral part of my life, my raison d’etre.
I really began to get interested in photography in 2000 after I purchased my first digital camera, which was a humble Kodak EZ200. Since then, I have moved on via a Concorde camera, Casio Exilim and now to a Canon 350D EOS SLR.
It is a fascinating activity and I am learning something new every day. I hope you enjoy my pictures.
The topics I write about are quite varied, with a leaning towards music, nature, wildlife & current events (if they really get my dander up).
Please feel free to leave comments and feedback.
Thank you for visiting my site.
Dear Luis,
I am writing on behalf of Pat Roberts. She wants you to know that her address book was stolen so she has lost your address. Could you let her have it?
Thanks
Anne
Hi Luis!
I found your website through the postings you made about Alan, and the Corinthian Chamber Orchestra. Its been a very strange time in London and the orchestra – so much to come to terms with.
I’m writing as a last minute change of plan means I am coming to Goa tomorrow! I’m currently on holiday in India (writing this in Gokarna), and soon to be heading out to Hampi for Christmas. We’ve just realised that we will be coming to Margao for one night tomorrow to change trains, so I thought of you – if you are around it would be lovely to see you. Of course, I realise that this is Christmas Eve, so it might not be possible if this is a family time for you. (I don’t want to disrupt anything!)
I do have a local mobile number (below), or as my reception here is temperamental, do send an email & I’ll check in this evening. We can either take a train at 10.45am or 7pm tomorrow – takes about 2 hours I think – so if you were around I could come in the day time.
Hope that everything is well with you in any case, and that you are enjoying being back in Goa. How are your plans for the local orchestra coming along?
Best wishes
Andrea Cornwell

Hi Luis:
Your blog popped up from a Google Alerts about our mutual friend, David Juritz.
My name is Lisa Wong, a pediatrician and violinist and president of the Longwood Symphony Orchestra. We perform concerts to help support other medical nonprofit organizations, and I met David when we came through Boston on his busking project.
He was our soloist both in Boston and London in June and hopefully we’ll be doing more projects together soon.
I’d love to hear more about you and your program in Goa.
Hi Luis,
I’m also a Goan interested in relocating to Goa after several years abroad (in my case, 18 years in the San Francisco Bay Area.) I’d love to correspond directly with you to get your take on various aspects of moving back – adjusting to the slower pace of life etc etc. I write for a living (advertising) and promise to keep the correspondence interesting! If you have the time, I’m at neville(at)freelanceteam.com
