I took this photo as we were hiking Fox Glacier in New Zealand. They showed us this map of the glacier, how much it has receded since the mid-1800s and still is. It was a really scary but beautiful moment, just because you think of all of the daily activities we go about doing at home with little to no thought, while all the while in corners of the world the blatant evidence of the effects are being seen. We drive our cars and live in our energy burning palatial homes and this glacier slowly melts away. Shot in June 2009.

The Fish of Atlantis

This is my favorite from this trip, in which I had way too much fun on. This was shot with my Canon Elph back before I had a dSLR, in the days when I really had no clue what I was doing. It was shot through foot-thick glass in an underground aquatic cave place. I love the vivid colors though. Shot in July of 2005 at Atlantis in the Bahamas.
