First Triathlon 

August 2012

Nat Geo Daily Dozen 1.4.15

“This is my 7 year old daughter (at the time) on the eve of her first triathlon. She was nervous and scared. I wanted to take an image to show her strength. To show her how strong and confident and capable she is. I shot this in my studio and told her to look right at me and give me her toughest look... the one she gives to any challenge that comes her way... the one I want her to look back upon when she encounters new, scary challenges and knows that she's been there before.”

"This is a one-second exposure of the trails left by a crashing wave over small icebergs on Jökulsárlón beach; I think it looks a bit like an octopus."

Florida

Nat Geo Best of March 2013

From the April 2013 feature story, "When Push Comes to Shove"

Propeller scars mark this manatee - graphic evidence of a too-close encounter with a boat. About one in four of Florida's 360 manatee deaths in 2012 resulted from collisions. Slow-speed zones help, but some boaters resent the restrictions.
