I focus on wild marine mammals, the California kelp forest, inhabitants of remote eastern Pacific islands, National Parks of the American West and, most recently, waves. I am fortunate to have visited many spectacular terrestrial and underwater settings as well as to have encountered a variety of threatened and endangered animal species on and in the ocean. My natural history photography has appeared in the pages of BBC Wildlife, National Wildlife, National Geographic Magazine, Ocean Realm, New York Times, Ranger Rick, Reader&#8217;s Digest and Skin Diver as well as many others, has been used in various advertising and publicity campaigns, is on display in aquaria and museums, and is occasionally recognized in photographic competitions. My underwater videography has been broadcast in various productions in the United States and abroad. My current plan is to shoot it all. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?x=self_portrait__weird__subject\">Here are some &#8220;self portraits&#8221; I&#8217;ve shot out and about<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/html\/contact_bio.html\">Click here for a list of my publication and broadcast credits.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"The Milky Way galaxy arches over Arch Rock on a clear evenin...\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/spotlight.php?img=26792\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"The Milky Way galaxy arches over Arch Rock on a clear evening in Joshua Tree National Park\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/stock-photo\/milky-way-arch-rock-night-stars-photo-26792-754390.jpg\" alt=\"The Milky Way galaxy arches over Arch Rock on a clear evening in Joshua Tree National Park\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The Milky Way galaxy arches over Arch Rock on a clear evening in Joshua Tree National Park.<br \/>\nImage ID: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/spotlight.php?img=26792\">26792<\/a><br \/>\nLocation: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?city=joshua_tree_national_park&amp;state=california&amp;country=usa\">Joshua Tree National Park<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?state=california&amp;country=usa\">California<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?country=usa\">USA<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Delicate Arch and Milky Way, lit by quarter moon, hiker's fl...\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/spotlight.php?img=27855\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Delicate Arch and Milky Way, lit by quarter moon, hiker's flashlight and the fading blue sky one hour after sunset.
