"Growing up on the
California coast, I was pho-
tographing whales long
before I decided to make
photography my career.
I never tire of seeing the
largest animals this planet
has ever produced being as
gentle, graceful and beau-
tiful as they are. I captured
this dramatic image at
Great Bear Rain Forest in
British Columbia at the
perfect moment."
"I followed these humpbacks in British Columbia as they performed a dance with a school of baitfish. They worked as
a well-rehearsed team, herding the fish up against a cliffside, then swooping from underneath, scooping them into their
yawning mouths. They did this again and again. It was a fascinating sight."
