Mentoring others came naturally to Chris. He was drawn to contemplation and sharing perspectives. In his copy of the book, Letters To A Young Poet, by Rainer Maria Rilke, he underlined this quote: “If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and immeasurable.” Christopher’s tag line was, “The Way I See It…” Through the Wild Dominica Conservancy Christopher Costello Memorial Scholarship, we hope to continue his legacy and empower aspiring photographers to join in the appreciation and preservation of the lush and vibrant landscape of Dominica; the way they see it.
Our family extends its heartfelt gratitude to The Wild Dominica Conservancy, and sincere best wishes to all those who participate in these programs.
