Of Manatees and Mermaids

Being a National Geographic photographer for the past 30 years, Brian Skerry has some great stories about his assignments in the field, most of which have taken place under water.  Here he talks about one of his favorite characters, the manatee.

If you liked that snippet, you can watch the complete video of Skerry’s half-hour talk on Nat Geo Live.

A mesmerizing exhibit of Skerry’s photos are currently on display at National Geographic headquarters in Washington, D.C., but only until February 11!

If you miss the show, you can purchase his book, Ocean Soul, which contains all the photos (and many more) in the exhibit.
