Camera Meets a Shark
A camera meeting a shark sounds like the start of a joke or a story. That’s exactly what this blog is about; tales of fun and adventure aimed at creating an emotional connection between people and marine life. Thank you for reading about my journey as I document the beauty of the ocean and everyone involved in preserving it.

Baja California (May/Jun 2023)
Almost exactly two months to the day, we found ourselves once again in Baja California for our second planned trip of the year. This time we came in search of mobula and cownose rays, something that’s been on our bucket list for a while. Our second motive was to finally visit the famed sea lion colony in Isla Islotesafter threatening to do so for several years. Given that the Sea of Cortez is abundant with large wildlife this time of year—whales, orcas, whale sharks—we kept our fingers modestly crossed that Baja would have more in store.
Belize (Jan 2023)
Almost a decade ago, my wife and I fell in love with Belize. In fact, we bought property there in hopes of building a modest home near the ocean where we would spend the rest of our active lives diving her pristine reefs and atolls. As the saying goes though, best laid plans of mice and men; new nests in Houston and Playa del Carmen, and a world-wide pandemic later resulted in several years since we last found ourselves in Belize.
Jan 2023—Camera and a Shark
Our first quarterly spotlight is on us, Camera and a Shark. We’re excited to kick off this endeavor whose mission is to help marine conservation organizations communicate with the public through the power of photography, videography, and storytelling from our network of contributors. We will strive to realize our vision of inspiring and empowering every citizen with opportunities to actively contribute towards protecting and conserving our oceans.
