NATURAL CONNECTION
One hundred and fifty miles off the west coast of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula, lies a small volcanic island that is a haven for great white sharks every fall and winter. With an abundance of California sea lions and elephant seals on the coasts of Guadalupe island, it attracts hundreds of great whites annually. Guadalupe Island outperforms both South Africa and Australia with shark-seeing consistency and conditions. It is home to the best shark viewing, in beautiful, clear blue water with 100 – 150 foot visibility.
The white line on the sides of a great white is similar to a fingerprint on a human, and can positively identify each shark, and there have been nearly 400 sharks identified in the bay.
These images are full of vibrant detail, and printed large format, will make an unforgettable statement for those who visit your home or office.

I sent a short video to my girls from the top, telling them “The hardest climbs bring the greatest views” a quote that has meant a lot to me in the past few years.
My photography for the past 10-20 years has been partially a form of therapy for me. Through a 20 year career in law enforcement, you see the best at their worst, the worst at their best, and everything in between. Some of that is the ability to witness some truly amazing, great moments. But, a lot is not. It’s a lot of things that you would like to forget. Nature and wildlife has always been a place of comfort for me, but I’ve really begun to understand that better more recently.
Through this new film series, I hope to share some of that with you, and be able to highlight some of the amazing lands and animals that we encounter when we are scouting or running tours with @aarons_tours. This series was born out of a shared passion for wildlife and a commitment to conservation. Through our lenses, we hope to show you a side of wildlife that is rarely seen and to make you think about the world in new ways. Our goal is to inspire others to appreciate and protect the beauty and complexity of the natural environment.

This is one of the first bears I came in close contact with in Katmai. I remember the excitement and adrenaline rush as I stared at him through the lens. He was a big bear, and his battle scars showed that he had been in more than one fight.
I was lying in the grass just across a small creek from him when I took this, and we stayed with him most of the morning. I can`t wait to get back there next month for more bears! #katmai #bear #grizzly #alaska
