Another benefit of being home, I had the opportunity to make the rounds with one of our local @HIMarineAnimal volunteers and observe 21 of our Laysan albatross chicks, including this one sitting out in an open field. Their plumage is starting to shift to the adult feathers, and they should begin fledging in a few weeks.

It’s #MonkSealMonday! Hawaiian monk seals frequently rest right along the water's edge to help them regulate their body temperatures. While photographing Sadie for the first time, I snapped this wave cooling her off.

ITAP a picture of the edge of the world… I always loved the illusion of this shot from the Makapu’u Lighthouse. Part of my Postcards from Hawaii collection. Wish you were here!

Definitely fun to be back home in Hawaii. I made a stop at Laniakea Beach (aka Turtle Beach) and took a portrait of Wooley Bully, who is over 50 years old. That’s right… this Honu is older than me!

It's #MonkSealMonday... Buster scans the shoreline for activity at Oahu's Diamond Head Beach. This is another shot of one of our alpha males, with "Buster at Sandy's" collected by earthsuk.eth.

ITAP on Mother’s Day a few years ago with Kaiwi and her pup, Loli’i. Happy Mother’s Day to mothers of all kinds today!

It’s Alooooooooha Friday… photographers know that those right place, right time shots are only possible because of the number of times we go to the right place… at the wrong time. Third straight morning chasing sunrise here on Oahu.

First flight on Hawaiian’s new 787 plane… JFK to HNL, just a short 10-11 hour flight home. Only downside is… no WiFi?!

Oh wow... well, it might be after midnight in NYC, but it's still #MonkSealMonday in Hawaii! Very excited to see one of my Hawaiian monk seals collected tonight, and I look forward to making a donation on RL42's behalf. With a little luck, I'll even see her and a pup soon!

Over ten years ago, I took a friend on O'Rourke's Famous Circle Island Tour and we found this cute little weaner Meli playing on a shallow reef on a remote North Shore corner, and she fell in love. How could you not love those big eyes? Vaulted by Bianca de Medici 69 aka Sia. I’ve been doing #MonkSealMonday for a while, and will continue to do so every Monday. Despite all our best efforts, much more must still be done. I hope my #MonkSeal post each Monday helps call attention to this beautiful animal and builds awareness of the efforts to preserve them. With roughly 1600 left in the wild, we are at a critical point to rescue this species. #Aloha! Link to my Monk Seal Monday collection ⬇️ :

ITAP of RK30, which would become my first NFT. It is hard to believe I minted this image four years ago, in April 2021. My goal was to take my weekly #MonkSealMonday posts raising awareness about these amazing, endangered Hawaiian monk seals and wonder... could NFTs help save this beautiful species?

Heading to bed, with dreams of aurora floating in my head... might be because I saw this epic image from Stoic the Photographer. How is this still available? https://foundation.app/mint/eth/0xABdb48A15941A5aDb70A2dB1Dbf7a97DD91059b9/1

It's been hot this week in NYC... feels like we jumped from winter straight to summer. Cooling off with a throwback photo to the Grand Canyon in April 2011.

ITAP of Keolakai (#MonkSealRK80), a monk seal pup born back in 2018... now she's having pups of her own. Annie and I have booked a trip in a few weeks to Oahu, and it's just in time for Hawaiian monk seal pup season. While we've already had a few pups born this year, I'm looking forward to documenting our mother and pup pairs.
