An Amazing Opportunity
We were fishing for Sailfish from a small boat off the coast of Puerto Escondido when this school of Porpoise showed up to play with our boat. They swam in front of and next to our boat for several minutes. Our fishing guide didn’t think anything of it but I thought it was amazing and made this photograph, there are about 8 more and another is offered through my istockphoto.com account.
It was one of those times when the photographer part of me took over and the other part of me lost consciousness, you could say I woke up for a minute or two. It’s always nice when it happens but never seems to happen enough. I’m happy to have had the opportunity to take the set of photographs because I find them interesting. I don’t think there is anything visually better than water that is clear that goes down to forever and large and playful fellow passengers on this planet where we live.
