Epic - this is Blunt, one of our biggest females.
Doug's
Water Column has just turned 50.
Well what can I say.
The man is one of the most respected, accomplished, most diligent (and never being happy with the results, most obstinate) underwater photographers out there, and quite possibly the best Shark photographer - and his unequaled articles are the result of countless hours of meticulous research and preparation coupled with more hours spent chasing those elusive images. We've only met relatively recently and the beginning has been challenging
- but he has persevered, we're now older and maybe a fraction of a tad
more tolerant, and I now count him among the people I trust and respect
the most, and call him a close friend.
Here's the laudatio by DIVE Magazine - click for detail.
Totally agree!
You can read his brilliant essay about Shark feeding
here, and
here is his article about Shark conservation - both some of the best ever published on the respective subjects!
But above all, check out Water Column # 50!
