COMMENTS: Keen underwater naturalist, constantly shooting to expand files. Based in Thailand 7 mos./yr., diving nearly every day. Countless hours underwater allow for intimate familiarity with subjects, opportunities to document unusual behavior. Remainder of each year spent travelling, mostly Indo-Pacific. Files include nearly every type of marine life found in this vast region; if we don’t have it, we can often refer you to someone who does. CREDITS
