“I hope you’ll see the sea. I hope you’ll let it touch your feet and empower you to feel free. I hope
you’ll see the sea right beside me. It is my notion that we are of the sea. We are from the sea. We are
the sea. You and me. We are the sea.” ~Brandi Fitzgerald
Nature is a delicate, well planned balance of land and water. The wax
and wane of the moon taking care of the world’s waters is not only crucial to that delicate balance but also imperative to sheer existence. We
must learn at once, the imperative importance of respecting the waters
to which our existence rests.
It is the water that will forever hold my fascination.
If I go too long, blinded by life’s monotony, without
seeing the sea, there is a drought in my soul. I long for
the sea. My art thrives when I’ve been to the water’s
edge. My heart is in full joy at the faintest scent of the
ocean breeze and my mind falls completely at peace. I
will never for a day take for granted the simple luxuries
the sea brings to me and It will never cease to amaze
me that an estimated 37 percent of Americans have
never even seen the ocean for themselves.

I spent a summer out at sea photographing Atlantic
Humpback whales in their
natural habitat on The Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary. I
spent three months in complete
awe while photographing and
observing the wild ocean blue.
These images depict, in its truest form, the delicate balance
on which our lives rely.
