Tough Day At The Office

As a photographer it is rare that you have a photo of yourself at work.  This photo of me photographing a very large Tiger Shark is courtesy of Paul Spielvogel, staff photographer at Shark Diver Magazine. 

Year of the Shark

I've just recently returned from two of my favorite locations, Isla Gaudalupe, Mexico and Tiger Beach in the Bahamas.  As usual neither were dissappointing.  I was blessed with great water and plenty of sharks in both places.  The crew on both vessels were exceptional and made the diving that much better.  I will be adding several photos to my gallery from these trips, this one didn't make the cut but I thought I'd share it with you anyway.  Clearly someone wants me to vacate the premises.  Tigers aren't keen on sharing their food and I was happy to step aside.

Bonaire Digital Shootout

I just spent a week down in Bonaire competing in the Bonaire Digital Shootout. Other than the squid being very elusive, I had a great time and got what I came for. The water was spectacular and I managed to spend some quality time shooting a very cooperative Hawksbill Sea Turtle.  I'll definitely be returning and next time with a macromate.

Tiger Beach, Bahamas

Just got through spending a week of world class diving in the beautiful Grand Bahama Banks at a little dive spot called Tiger Beach.  The weather wasn't cooperating with us, there was a Bahamian winter for the first 3 days which made for wind and light chop, but we still managed to interact with a couple of female Tiger Sharks.  Lemon Sharks were consistent throughout the week but did a good job of staying out of my shots when the Tigers arrived.  I'm anxious to return in the fall, this dive site lives up to it's name and is a must dive for any shark enthusiast.  Please visit my gallery to view some of the photos from this trip.
