Its wings cupped, as if it were a parachute This is a photo of a Gray Jay taking flight. I took this photo in January up the in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, at the summit of Mt. Willey. The background of this photo is snowcapped Mount Washington. I like this photo because it […]
There is a flurry of activity… This photo comes from a coral spawn dive off the Upper Keys in Florida. Once a year staghorn coral reproduces by broadcast spawning, generally after the full moon in the late summer months. This simultaneous release of eggs provides a feasting opportunity other reef species. This Acropora coral crab […]
You can go your whole dive career without seeing [one of these spiders] If you thought spiders only lived on land, you’re wrong. This is a photo of a Caribbean Sea Spider taken near Blue Heron Bridge in West Palm Beach, Florida. This is a great dive location because no matter how much you dive it, every […]
Like with most things in life, timing is critical. This is a photo of a juvenile American Lobster riding on the back of a nudibranch. To provide some scale, this white “shag-rug” looking nudibranch is only about one centimeter long. The lobster is about the size of a grain of rice. I took this photo […]
On a clear day, you can’t beat the views The past three years I have been working through the peaks in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, not far from where I live.

The sky had a wild orange glow A few years ago, I was diving about five miles off the coast of Key Largo, Florida. After we surfaced from our dive, we looked up and saw this. Wildfires in the Everglades National Park had sent thick smoke over the entire area. The sky had a wild […]
You only have a couple minutes of perfect lighting It’s always nice when you can feature a photo from where you live. This photo was taken in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. I’ve lived here for 2 years and I can’t get enough of the sunsets. The area in this photo is a part of Hampton […]
Some sunsets you will never capture in a photo This photo was taken on Blackwater Sound just off Key Largo, Florida. This is my favorite area to watch sunsets. On this particular night we got some wild “cotton candy” colors during the sunset. The reflection of the colors off the calm bay really takes it […]
