Day at Work
In June, 2006 I was fortunate to get a three-year assignment with the French Film company, Galatée Films. I spent 40 days that June shooting blue whales, krill, kelp paddies and bait balls off San Diego. Another 12-day shoot followed at the Channel Islands. In February and March 2007, I did another 43 days concentrating on blue whales in Loreto, Baja California. May took me to the Azores for blue whales once again.
Many of our 12-hour days were spent like this, in small hard hulled inflatables, with no cover, in the hot Baja California sun.
In October, 2009, I did something completely different. I photographed historic artifacts for an archaeologuy firm that had been collected from the “Manhattan Project” site at Hanford, Washington. The artificially created city numbered close to 40,000 at its peak during the WW11 effort. The residents did not know what project they were working on till they received pins that read “Atom Bomb”…after the bombs were dropped on Japan!
