Silent Sentinels
Madagascar, 2009
Whilst on an evening walk in the southern spiny desert of Madagascar, I caught the silhouette of these trees. Like most of the biodiversity found on the island, these cactus-like trees are unique to Madagascar, and likewise, they are all under threat. Something about deforestation, cattle agriculture, etc.

Los Delfines
Mexico, 2022
Bottle nose dolphins, like these ones we spotted in Mexico, typically are not very eager to interact with humans. Expecting them to keep their distance I was surprised when this playful trio started jumping out of the water near us. I was fortunate I had my camera out and ready to capture this shot.

Frenzy
The Bahamas, 2019
The Bahamas is the only country in the world to declare its entire marine habitat a shark sanctuary. The abundance of sharks in these waters have attributed to the thriving tourism industry in the country, giving skeptical visitors the opportunity to interact with these misunderstood creatures. These lemon and reef sharks have learned not to fear humans, and know that when the boats come there will be food. Congregating in large numbers around the boats, these sharks stir up a frenzy, oblivious to the people admiring them from above and below.

Rush Hour
Mexico, 2022
Every year millions of Mobula rays converge in the Gulf of California to carry out the oldest known ritual of all: mating. One by one they follow each other slowly creating a massive vortex. Every so often the rays will breach the surface of the water, either as an escape from the chaotic vortex or as a mating display, we do not know. So much of this ritual remains a mystery to us, yet the beauty of the congregation is hard to ignore. There is not much we as bystanders can do other than drift on the outside of the swirling dance and watch in disbelief as the next generation of mobulas are conceived.

Diva
Mexico, 2022
While swimming off the coast of Baja California Sur, this playful California Sea Lion kept approaching me. She would rise to the surface then slowly descend to the sea floor, striking this pose over and over. It was as if she was saying “photograph me, I’m waiting” so that is what I did. She made it very easy to take her picture.

Shipwreck Dreams
The Bahamas, 2021
Always the first on the scene of a sunken vessel, oceanic whitetip sharks or “shipwreck sharks” oversee the growth of entire ecosystems blossoming from the derelict ruins of the past. They are the bold investigators of the seafloor, and living witnesses to our ocean’s ability for making use of everything we lose and discard. These curious sharks are completely pelagic, preferring the open blue as opposed to the coasts. They have gone from being one of the most abundant predators on the planet to know only 10% of their population remaining.

Polar Master
Russia, 2017
While traveling aboard an old Russian nuclear ice breaker on an expedition to the Arctic, from the icy distance we spotted this lone figure. He came across the sea ice to intercept our ship, stopping us in our tracks. He layed down in front of the vessel and refused to move, as if determining our worth before entering his domain.

Guardian of the Watchhouse
Canada, 2017
When it became apparent that the government of Canada was bent on pushing dirty oil from the Alberta tar sands through the coast of British Columbia and onto China, I rallied alongside fellow advocates to support the courageous stand of the Tsleil Waututh (slay-el wah-tooth) First Nations. I traveled to the Musqueam Squamish First Nations community, the site where the pipeline was set to cut straight through and undermine the waters, ancestral lands, livelihoods, and safety where the pipeline is set to travel through and post a tremendous threat to the ancestral lands, waters and livelihoods of these peoples. Will George helps to spearhead this resistance, a self proclaimed warrior and watchman who was arrested for standing up to the construction of the pipeline. Portions of the proceeds of the sale of this print will be used to support the legal defense of the Tsleil Waututh in their battle to protect their home and people.

Mejkumrei
Brazil, Village of Kenjam, 2010
In the Kayapo language, people greet each other by saying “mejkumrei,” often with a strong emphasis on the first syllable. In addition to saying hello or sometimes simply describing something that is wonderful, it can sometimes have a more profound and important connotation. It means “I see you.” For a people who live in remote villages with fewer than 150 individuals, the Kaypao are deeply dependent on one another for survival. Acknowledging someone by telling them you see them, means that you are accountable to that person. When I met this woman, a Kaypao elder, she welcomed me into her home with a loud and warm “mejkumrei!”

Mud Man
Papua New Guinea, 2006
In the highlands of Papua New Guinea, the many tribes still live by the mysterious dictations of the spirit world. Much of traditions and cultures of the highlanders have been influenced by western society since first contact around the 1940’s. However, important cultural events, such as the Mount Hagen Sing Sing, where I photographed this Asaro tribeman, still occur yearly and celebrate the unique customs and rituals of each community. The Asaro people dig into the rich mud of the Asaro River, creating and donning these masks to hide them from their enemies both in the physical and spirit world.
