Next week I am traveling to the Azores, a group of islands off of Portugal to contribute to a book sponsored by the Whale Dolphin Conservation Society. I am looking forward to the experience and making new friends. From Pico, I will travel to Tonga. The flight will take over 38 hours, not to mention 44 hours of lay overs in Boston, LA, Nadi, and Tongatapu. Once in Vavau, I will lead a small group of photographers on an expedition to swim with and photograph Humpback Whales.
The goal of our trip is to create images of humpbacks without changing their behavior. We will not motor up in a boat and drop in on the whales. Instead we will watch, and observe their behavior. When appropriate, enter the water and float near them. Previous trips taught me that whales are curious and will swim by us to get a look.
