It's AMA time. 

Sorry, just a few minutes late getting myself settled in here. I've got a nice cold compression cycle running on my knee for the next 30 minutes, so I'm here for any questions you might have about the images I've shared today, or photography in general.

how has your journey been since you started photography, did it bring you closer to nature and did you come to understand the world better, i’d just like to know how it changed your life.

it’s really great to see that the protections and restrictions do help and work, it was really nice learning to know about you

That's an interesting question... I think I've always been fascinated by nature, which is why I used to take pictures of frogs and toads and turtles when I got my first camera at five or six. I love being outdoors, and Hawaii certainly provides a beautiful landscape to work with.

However, I think the number of hours spent on the beaches and observing several of our endangered species in Hawaii, I've become more appreciative of how delicate the balance is between human interaction and the natural world, and also recognized that we can still impact a positive change. Both the Hawaiian monk seal population and the Hawaiian green sea turtle population have seen significant rebounds once better protections were put in place, and more education and outreach were done.
