Many of the reefs and habitats I’ve photographed are in decline,
but I don’t want my archive to only be about what we’ve lost,
about “what it looked like before Armageddon.” All of us need
to be ultra concerned with the sea in the coming 20 years; the
near future will be pivotal. We’re killing sharks beyond the point
they can recover, and the food chain is quickly losing balance.
Pollution, habitat destruction, ocean acidification, human apathy,
greed and misunderstanding plague our oceans.
While I don’t yet have a deep photo archive of the ugly things
that man does to the ocean like a conservation photographer
such as Brian Skerry might have, I do have images that celebrate
much of what is beautiful and majestic about the ocean. It has
taken me 20 years to build this collection, and I hope with all my
being that the next two decades of my life can be dedicated to
further exploration and documentation of the marine world.

You and I have had many conversations over the years
about the technology of the tools we use to capture images and
the business of underwater photography. Do you have any new
epiphanies to share?
