Camera Meets a Shark
A camera meeting a shark sounds like the start of a joke—or the beginning of a story. That’s exactly what this blog is about: tales of adventure, conservation, and discovery aimed at building an emotional connection between people and marine life.
Here, I share field stories, encounters, short reflections, and the incredible people and organizations shaping the ocean’s future. Whether it’s a shark encounter, a dive with rays, or a moment of insight from the field, every post offers a glimpse into the world beneath the surface—and the journey of those working to protect it.
