Juvenile Oceanic whitetip shark.
On occasions when surfing the web for some photographic inspiration, I come across photographers that can really touch your soul with their work. I would like to direct you to a truely inspirational underwater photographer, John Scarlett. In particular his pictoral essay on loving sharks.
Only too often when speaking to people that I come in contact with and start talking about what we do, the first question is, “But what about the sharks, have you ever been attacked?” I smile and just put their ignorance down to a lack of education. Of course I try hard to educate, but I am always left thinking, are they walking away thinking “crazy fool!”
Our mission statement is to convey the beauty that lies beneath and to target those who do not know about the natural treasures that are so often overlooked and destroyed in the quest for global expansion.
You don’t think Sharks come into this category? Take a look at some of Johns’ work, also absorb the narration.
For the un-educated, I hope you change your mind.
