I have returned from three weeks at Seal Island.  In July, the sharks were hitting the seals vigorously before the activity went strangely silent in August.  Even now, the action is not picking up much making it the earliest drop off in activity in 14 years.  Nevertheless, I got a lot of good material this year making it undoubtedly the most productive year yet.  For the first time, we spent substantial time snorkeling with the Cape Fur Seals that live on and around the island.  This allowed a much deeper understanding of the island and its residents.  I have posted a small number of photos from this year’s trip.  The majority are being held back for the anticipated publication of a book on Seal Island and the life and death struggle between its sharks and seals in the next year.  The book is being written in collaboration with renowned white shark photographer Chris Fallows and features photos from myself and Irish photographer David Jenkins.  I will update the status of the book in the coming months. голова болит секс

Each spring, the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary plays host a series of spectacular natural events as the cycle of birth and death plays out for its inhabitants.  Monterey Bay is a wide bay along the central coast of California, bisected by the largest and deepest submarine canyon in the Pacific.  This canyon draws deep pelagic water within a few miles of shore and generates the forces that lie at the base of these annual events.  The Monterey Canyon begins at Moss Landing, located at the middle of Monterey Bay and extends about 95 miles out into the Pacific Ocean ending in the Monterey Fan nearly 12 000 feet below the surface.

I am just returning from two weeks in Monterey photographing the areas inhabitants hunting around the deep submarine canyon.  A new gallery has resulted entitled Spring in Monterey.  The photos are accompanied by a new article detailing the many fascinating animals that live in this region and the forces that bind them together and drive this magnificent system.  I will endeavor to publish several more articles on the site in the coming weeks or months catching up from the trips last fall to Alaska and Africa.  It was a busy fall and winter and I am now striving to bring the site up to date.  In addition I will be heading back to South Africa in July and August to once again photograph white sharks in their annual pursuit of the cape fur seals.  In addition to the new photos that result, I have several new articles planned that will be published with the new photos upon my return in August.

The year begins for a Kodiak bear deep below the Alaskan snow.  Within the den, a Kodiak bear spends the winter months in hibernation.  During these months, the hibernating bear does not eat, drink, defecate, or urinate.  As winter progresses, the bear’s body temperature drops slowly reaching a low of 12 ° C (21.6 ° F) below its normal active temperature.  Through some miraculous adaptations, the bear is able to minimize toxic waste products in its system by reabsorbing toxic protein breakdown products through the walls of the bladder and bowel and forming new tissue from these simple building blocks.  This biochemical marvel also mitigates much of the need for urination and keeps the bears body fluids in perfect balance through the cold winter months.  The bear’s heart rate also slows from a normal rate of 40 beats per minute to as little as eight beats per minute and then back to 40 for a short time each day due to spontaneous arousal mechanisms.  Oxygen consumption drops by 50% or more and carbon dioxide production decreases.  Somehow through these mechanisms the bear’s muscles do not waste; its bone remain mineralized and strong.

At up to 30 feet in length and weighing up to 10 tonnes, the intelligent and pack-hunting orca (or killer whale) is unrivaled as the ocean’s top predator.  Roughly 100 000 years ago, orcas divided into separate populations. Two of these populations, called the residents and transients, share much of the same range along the west coast of North America. While living in the same habitat, these groups have developed differences in social structure, anatomy, diet, and hunting strategy.   Resident orcas live in larger, life long groups of a mother and her generations of offspring.  These highly vocal orcas seem to feed entirely on fish.  Transient orcas on the other hand have a more fluid social structure and silently hunt primarily mammalian prey in smaller groups, vocalizing primarily after or between hunts.  Observations of the transients hunting and killing large whales provided the source for the common name “killer whale”.

For a cheetah on the Serengeti plains, life is hard.  These graceful predators are killed and displaced by larger predators and the odds of survival are heavily stacked against them.  As a result, the population density of cheetahs in the Serengeti is low.  Estimates in the 1990s put the number of cheetahs in the whole of the Serengeti at 500 to 900 individuals compared with about 2500 lions and 5000 spotted hyenas.

2008 has been a productive year up to this point and the website has seen several new addtions.  In January I travelled to Ecuador to photograph birds in the Andean highlands before spending a few days in the lowlands of the Amazon basin.  I felt fortunate to visit the Ecuadorian Amazon through the hospitality of the Napo Wildlife Center, a locally owned and operated ecocentre in a beautiful, protected section of forest.  I encourage you to vist their website at http://www.napowildlifecenter.com/ онлайн вечеринки порно to find out more about the fantastic conservation project in an embattled section of the mighty Amazon.  Photos of this part of the Amazon are found in the Amazon gallery along with Peruvian photos from the previous year.

In April of 2008 I traveled to Monterey Bay, California in hopes of photographing transient orcas (also known as killer whales) hunting grey whale calves as they migrate with their mothers to northern waters. The mothers and calves must make this long and dangerous 7 000 mile journey to feed in the rich arctic waters after the calves are born in the warm but nutrient poor waters of Mexico during the winter months. Through much of the journey, grey whales remain in the relative safety of shallow near shore waters. However, the whales reach a point of particular vulnerability when they reach Monterey Bay with its deep and complex submarine canyon system. More… »

Seal Island, a small rocky outcropping in South Africa’s False Bay, is the best place in the world to witness and photograph white sharks breaching. The white sharks launch their massive bodies from the water each winter morning in the pursuit of cape fur seals. In this location, photographers and film crews hope to capture the amazing shot of a 1-2 ton white shark flying as much as 10 feet above the water. Many of the available shots come from towing a decoy behind the boat to induce the animal to breach. If the conditions are right with limited water visibility and low ambient light, the sharks mistake the decoy for a seal and strike. More… »
