Fish Revolution

My work is being featured on Fish Revolution's website! 

"Fish Revolution is dedicated to improving the health of marine fish populations. Our primary goal is to force a shift in demand from harmful fishing practices to sustainable methods that ensure healthy production of seafood and other ocean products for years to come.  We believe in supporting fishing communities taking steps to conserve fish populations (and their livelihoods) while bridging the gap between fishermen and consumers"

I hope to work with them future projects!

FAWN

During our time camping on Assateague Island in Maryland, this little fawn wandered into our campsite.  It was clear that he (or she, not sure) was fairly used to people, and ate scraps of food in the campground.  But this was definitely still a skiddish wild animal.  It was amazing how close it came to us, inspecting everything... but easily spooked.  The experience brought up an interesting dilema for me... the animal was clearly not domesticated, or meant to be domesticated for that matter, but it was hard to refrain from intentionally feeding it because it was so cute.  My instinct was to help... But usually wildlife officials tell you NOT to feed wild animals.  I still consider this to be a photograph of a wild animal, but the image raises a lot of questions for me about what is "authentic", or to what extent do you interfere as a photographer in the situation you are photographing?  These photographs will be reminders for me of these issues, but regardless, they might be some of my favorite images from this entire year.
