  1. A couple of kilometres out on a kayak.
    Not alone.
    Behind me, across the bay, seal song sounded out from the caves.

    Not for the first time, from somewhere a butterfly fluttered by, heading towards the shore. For what seems an impossible adventure.

  6. It's been so long, I forget how fun this truly was...until I look back at pictures of that one magical evening off the southernmost reaches of Florida.

    Captured by me, "Sunset on a Schooner".

  7. The Patient Hour at Santa Cruz

    As I climbed up the rocks from the beach I spotted a lone fisherman in the distance. He hadn’t caught anything yet but in the bright sunshine I caught a nice silhouette. It was Santa Cruz in Portugal, and a lovely day to be beside the sea....

  9. Hype for the Future 169E: Is Florida Caribbean?

    Introduction Society often expects the State of Florida to be described as a peninsular state with the Gulf of Mexico to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, but why? Isn’t there also the Caribbean Sea in the area? Caribbean Definition Usually, the Caribbean refers to the insular areas of the Caribbean Sea and not to the mainland. These are often independent nations, though dependencies and overseas territories are also associated with the region. Sometimes, even the South […]

  10. Inside the race to understand Greenland’s ‘climate tipping point’.

    An international team of scientists is determined to understand just how quickly Greenland’s melting glaciers are pushing the Atlantic Ocean towards a “critical climate tipping point”.

    They’ll also trial a prototype ‘Early Warning System’ for glacier change in Greenland, as ice melt continues to accelerate.

  11. Hype for the Future 98K: The Santee and Hopsewee Plantations — South Carolina

    Overview Though the Santee and Hopsewee Plantations are located nearby, the historical contexts of either plantation determine many of the cultural and economical differences. The Santee Plantation is on the south side of the South Santee River in Charleston County while the Hopsewee Plantation is situated near North Santee further north in Georgetown County. As with many plantations in the region in South Carolina, the historical context can largely be traced to the eighteenth (18th) […]

    The geology of the ocean floor is truly spectacular — perhaps even more than land geology. Unfortunately, it's really hard to study.

  21. Vortex of Survival: Baitball Frenzy on a North Carolina Shipwreck

    We launched with Atlantis Charters (trip organized by Gotham Divers) and headed east into open Atlantic Ocean. This corridor of wrecks concentrates life: currents stack plankton, baitfish ride the structure, and predators cruise the edges. The top of the deck was approximately 85 ft deep, allowing for slight variation. The main action was positioned between 60 and 80 ft.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmKtGsic3pY

    The Hunt: How the Vortex Forms

    At first, the baitfish flashed in loose silver sheets above the deck. The jacks pressed in from the perimeter. The school cinched into a sphere. Then, it formed a spiraling column—a living vortex—hovering just over the main deck. Strikes came from the flanks and below, using the flat steel as a base to pin the bait upward. The cycle repeated: circle, squeeze, break, reset.

    Likely predators: jacks commonly seen on NC wrecks (e.g., greater amberjack or almaco jack).
    Tactics observed: herding, pin-wheel circling, quick surge strikes from cover.

    Why Wrecks Amplify Predation

    • Structure = leverage. Flat deck and vertical faces constrain escape routes and keep the baitball suspended just above steel, where predators can tighten the circle.
    • Eddies & seams. The wreck’s wake creates small eddies that hold plankton, drawing in baitfish and the jacks that hunt them.
    • Refuge–trap effect. The wreck feels like shelter to small fish, so it concentrates bait over hard structure; predators use the same edges and flat deck to corner and compress the school—turning “refuge” into a trap (an ecological trap).

    Camera & Lighting Setup

    • Camera: Panasonic GH5
    • Lens: 14–42mm kit zoom paired with Nauticam wet wide lens (for fast switches to true wide FOV)
    • Lights: Bigblue video lights for clean fill on the baitball’s outer skin and to hold color on the wreck details
    • Approach: I stayed low to avoid splitting the school. Just hooover on the main deck of the ship wreck

    Dive Conditions & Safety Notes

    • Run: ~1 hour offshore from Atlantic Beach, NC
    • Depth: ~80 ft to the deck; mid-water action above the superstructure
    • Exposure: 5 mm wetsuit was comfortable
    • Awareness: Mind surge along hull edges; track gas and NDLs closely at this depth.
    What are NDLs? No-decompression limits (NDLs) are the maximum bottom times you can spend at a given depth without requiring mandatory decompression stops on ascent; they vary by depth, profile, gas mix, and your dive computer’s algorithm.

  22. An Fear Marbh at Sunset

    It looked like there wouldn’t be any sunset, but I was down at the bottom of Dunquin Pier when I saw an orange glow coming from behind the large rock blocking my view of the sun that had just set.

    If you know how steep that path down to the pier is, I hope you’ll have some sympathy for me as I raced up again to capture what turned out to be a momentary break in the thick clouds. I was surprised I saw any colour in the sky!

  23. Morning Photos

    Finally! The sky was clear at sunrise on a weekend. I took four, count ’em four, cameras out with me. My digital, Nikon Z5, my two 35mm, Dad’s Pentax K1000 and my Nikon FG-20, and my new/ebay medium format experiment, Lomo Lubitel 166 Universal.

    The 35mm cameras each had a roll already started. My goal was to finish them off. The Lubitel… what the hell, Robert. I’ve had the camera for months and had not completed even a single test roll. I had already messed up the first roll by over advancing it once and blowing a shot, and then flashing the film when the camera back popped open on its own once. My goal was to finish that roll and then put a second roll through and hope that something worked on one of them enough to let me know if the camera actually works or not. Besides all of that film fun, I just wanted to take a bunch of pics with my Z5 because it’s super fun.

    I completed all of those goals. I now have four rolls of film to develop. I’ll place an order today and ship them out tomorrow. The two 120 rolls were fucked up even more than I already knew. I didn’t have any trouble with the second one… or so I thought. The camera can be setup to shoot in 6×6 format or in 4.5×6. I was using the 4.5×6 numbers for advancing the film after each (well… most… there are going to be a bunch of double exposures because I am too stupid to operate a manual camera, I guess) but upon further review, the camera is clearly set up to shoot a square format… so every single shot is going to overlap. Moron.

    Anyway… here are a bunch of digital pics.

    Hampton Beach, NH at sunrise!

    These are from a little spot on route 1A just south of Hampton Beach. I don’t know if it is in Seabrook or in the town of Hampton Beach, but you can see the Seabrook nuclear power plant from here so… kaboom.

    After that spot I drove home, but didn’t go home. I went to the Spicket Falls Dam in downtown Methuen. We’ve had massive rains over the last week so the river was roaring.

    At this point I still had a few shots left in two of the film cameras so I went over to Greycourt Park where I got my brand new sneakers soaking wet by walking around in the grass. It was nice.

    And there you have it. Finally, a photography kinda morning. You would think this would hold me over for a little while at least, but nope. I want to go out again right now. Right Freakin’ Now.
