Do I Know You?

Photographed by Stephen Cook

Otters are amazing creatures and very difficult to photograph. When you think you have the shot, they roll over and dive into the ocean, searching for another meal. I have spent too many hours on film, and now disk space is capturing many mediocre images. Time, practice, and research have yielded many interesting images of these amazing creatures.
