"Descent" A single fluke slips beneath the surface - the finale gesture before the whale disappears into the deep. In this quiet moment, the ocean holds its breath. What remains is the ripple, the memory, the knowing that I was witness to something ancient and free. The sea keeps its secrets, but it leaves traces of wonder behind.

"The Double Breach" Two humpbacks whales rise together, breaking through a school of fish, fog and relentless rain in the Gulf of Maine.

'Scars of Survival" This whale surfaced close enough for me to see the deep scars left by a ship strike - wounds that had healed, but not disappeared. The ocean carries its stories in silence, yet every mark tells of our shared impact. These scars are not just reminders of pain, but of endurance - of a being who continues to rise, breathe, and live. Bearing witness is part of loving the wild. To see clearly is the first step towards protecting it. Two Miles offshore Boothbay Harbor Maine

"Look Into My Eyes" This Gray seal lives in a Marine Heatwave. The Gulf of Maine, is warming faster than 99% of the global oceans.
