“Of all the creatures in the sea, these are the high fashion models.”
“Humans have approached the ocean as conquistadors, and what we have
discovered we have destroyed through over-fishing and destruction of habitat.”
“Every day is not just another assignment; it is a small, but contained
voyage of discovery. But for all the joy there is a sense of ever-present doom.”
“Working in the sea is a visual gift that I never take for granted.”
