I shot this during the Atlanta flood. I chanced upon a couple canoeing through the most famous tunnel in Atlanta, the Krog Street Tunnel. I was out with my friend to go see another area that was flooded when we came across this and both of us screamed with delight.

I borrowed my friend's polka dot galoshes, but at this point in the tunnel the water was well above them.

This was a matter of being in the right place at the right time for an unforgettable shot of a completely unique event.

On the 11th of July 2008 I was snorkeling off the coast of Kenya near the town of Malindi. After struggling to take photos of the marine life I came back up to rest for a moment on the surface and decided to take a photo of the tour boat. It was only when I uploaded the photo did I realize how peaceful it was with the yellow boat on the blue waves. Yet it also appears chaotic with the wave apparently about to break over the boat due to the perspective.

Out on our early morning drive in the Ongrava Reserve near Etosha National Park, Namibia, we spotted a shape by the side of the road under a tree. Our guide thought it was a lion but as we approached, the cat lifted its head and it was clearly a leopard! It crossed the road and disappeared into the tall grasses but as we drove by, we spotted it staring at us for a few seconds before turning on its heels and disappearing. I only had time to get two shots!

It was nap time at this hippo pool in Tanzania in July 2008. The jumble of large gray bodies punctuated by pink eyes and ears made for a compelling image. The hippos seemed content to nuzzle alongside one another. Most of them appeared to be snoozing contentedly despite the utter lack of privacy or personal space.

On a recent visit to Scotland I caught this shot of my son standing in the doorway of our house, waiting for me to come inside out of the rain. I really liked how the frame splits the subjects, and while at first he seems so removed from the natural setting you then glimpse the sky behind him through the window.
