Brooks River Reflection best Moments like this are why

Moments like this are why I have to do what I do

We were gifted a few wonderful swims with this pair of whales

No noise beyond the booming waves and our own quiet gasps

moving into position all on its own and rolling gracefully with minimal bubbles from disturbing the surface

Brooks River Reflection best Moments like this are whyThis image does a nice job of reflecting (pun definitely intended) my mood at Katmai. It's just so special to be in this beautiful place and absolutely surrounded by these amazing animals! It grounds me, relaxes me and puts me in the right frame of mind to hopefully create some meaningful images.
