Beachcombing on North Carolina's Outer Banks is one of my favorite things, especially in winter. In the winter months, the Labrador Current drops down and pushes its arctic waters close to Hatteras Island, colliding with the Gulf Stream. This collision can stir up the ocean floor and cause huge amounts of debris to wash ashore, from shell piles to shipwrecks, and all maner of other interesting things. One of the favorite finds is the Whelk shell. Mistakenly called Conch shells, by many, the Whelk is a cold water creature, whereas the Conch prefers tropical climes. It's a tough life for shells along this coast, as the seas are rough, and many of the shells are bashed and broken before they reach the beach. This black, knobbed Whelk shell, was found, worn but intact, among some scallop shells, and other bits and pieces at low tide.
I was born and raised in eastern North Carolina. Now, back home, and just enjoying the ride. I've been a photographer for over 40 years, first as a hobbyist, and then as a professional. I've enjoyed a lifelong love affair with animals domestic and wild, especially horses. I am an animal advocate, an outdoorsman, and naturalist first, and then a photographer. I believe that it is important to know, understand, and respect and protect the subjects that you want to photograph before ever setting foot in the wild. Self-described as a thinker, philosopher, photographer, and geek, but mostly just a dreamer! I won't bore you with a lot of pretense and fluff. I have won awards, been published and all that, and so it seems, has everyone else, and...
