For the past three days (Feb. 6-9), I’ve had the privilege of accompanying Thomas Peschak, Chief Photographer for the Save Our Seas Foundation, on an underwater photo shoot here in Cape Town.  We’ve been out every day on Steve Benjamin’s Animal Oceans boat, and it’s been amazing to watch such a high-calibre photographer at work.  Thomas is also a tremendous advocate for shark conservation and a member of the International League of Conservation Photographers;  I would not have been able to come to South Africa if it weren’t for his help in finding experiences in South Africa for me on my scholarship.
