Stories
Every photograph has a story. Here you'll find field notes, behind-the-scenes experiences, and moments from a lifetime spent beneath the surface.

A yellowhead jawfish may look like a small fish in a hole, but there is much more happening below the surface. This story looks at patience, repeated dives, and the remarkable behavior of a male jawfish carrying fertilized eggs in his mouth.
