Lemon Shark Pictures (Negaprion brevirostris)
My lemon shark pictures (Negaprion brevirostris) are now on Photoshelter (in addition to the lemon shark photos on this website). I spent about 10 days in the Bahamas with Skip, Ken Howard, Keith Grundy and Jim Abernethy to shoot a few different kinds of sharks. When we got to the tiger shark spot, we found more lemon sharks than tigers, about 2:1 or 3:1 (although there we still plenty of tigers however!). When there wasn’t a tiger shark in view, there was always a lemon shark or two. The lemons were bigger than I remember (I’d seen lemon sharks before on a handful of dolphin trips to the same area), about 8′ to 11′ feet in length. And they were very accomodating, coming right up to the dome port on my water camera housing. It was really fun and easy photography of a reasonably large and charismatic creature. I hope to find time to do it again.

Bull Shark Pictures (Carcharhinus leucas)
My bull shark pictures (Carcharhinus leucas) are now on Photoshelter (in addition to the bull shark photos on this website). These underwater photos were taken in the Bahamas. And if you are curious, the answer is “yes”; the bull shark is one of the more dangerous sharks in the world and responsible for more than its share of attacks. Its a very “twitchy” shark. Even Kanye knows how formidable bull sharks are: “Yo great white, I know you are eating that elephant seal and ima let you finish, but the bull shark is the most dangerousest shark of all time, all time!”

Photoshelter’s Featured Photographers for September 2009
Cool: I was selected as one of Photoshelter’s Featured Photographers for September 2009. For those of you that aren’t photographers or don’t yet know about Photoshelter: Photoshelter is the leading photo-hosting service for pro and serious amateur photographers. I’ve had a personal website for many years, and it does well as far as visibility and search engine ranking goes. But I finally decided Photoshelter has some features I’ll just never figure out how to add to my own site. Plus Photoshelter has some very good search engine presence, in fact it is one of the features they stress most highly. So a few months ago I started an account with them and have slowly been adding my natural history stock photography to my Photoshelter site.
I just learned that I am one of Photoshelter’s 20 Featured Photographers for September 2009. Photoshelter choose one of my wave photos to add to the Featured Photographer slideshow. Check out all of the images, there is some real talent represented in this group and I am glad to be included. I like Brian Cleary’s in-your-face photo of a dog biting a toy the best:
Giant Sequoia Pictures

Many of my giant sequoia pictures are now on Photoshelter, which is the source of this nifty slideshow. Sequoia trees really are the most majestic of all plants. They are the largest (i.e., most massive) life forms on earth, and they are nearly the tallest (exceeded only by their cousins the coastal redwoods in the Pacific Northwest). Giant sequoia trees are one of the longest lived organisms on earth, exceeded in longevity most notably by Ancient Bristlecone pine trees (Pinus longaeva). Enjoy images of these “pillars of the sierra”.

Humpback Whale Pictures (Megaptera novaeangliae)
Some of my humpback whale pictures (Megaptera novaeangliae) are now on Photoshelter (in addition to the humpback whale pictures on this website). I was fortunate to assist Dr. Dan Salden of Hawaii Whale Research Foundation on the waters near Maui for quite a few years, and have some interesting photos that came from those efforts.

Bodie State Historical Park Photos

I recently made a banzai road trip run up to Bodie State Park, near Mono Lake, to make some photos. I got to the park gate about 30 minutes before sunrise, and to my delight found that only two other photographers were there that morning. Solitude, at sunrise, in one of the finest ghost towns in the country. (OK, granted, Bodie is not technically a “ghost town”, but I think of it that way.) I basically had the entire town to myself and did not bump into another person for at least an hour. It was quiet, cool, with clear skies and dew on the grass. I spent about two hours wandering around, peering around into the old homes, barns, shops and town halls.
I have posted my Bodie State Historic Park photos on my website and also on Photoshelter: Bodie State Historic Photo stock photos.
