## Caption

I am very excited to share that in 2025, I will be doing a retrospective of my life’s work. This means I now face the task of sorting through 2.5 million images and narrow it down to just 250. On Christmas Day, I looked at over 100,000 images alone. I have never been more excited about a major book project that covers my lifelong love affair with nature from every corner of the globe; about as excited as this playful baby gray whale was to interact with me and my camera. Please stay tuned for more details as they unfold. Wishing everyone a wonderful, relaxing and productive holiday season. #gratitude #retrospective
