HUMPBACKS (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Curious, often rambunctious, immensely powerful, agile, gathering in loosely formed groups to feed, fight, and mate then disbanding to live independently until hunger and the urge to procreate grips them again, humpback whales now swim free from the threat of whaling. Their size and elegant form make them compelling photographic subjects.
