"The camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity"

The title of this blog post is a quote by French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson,  the father of modern photojournalism. What does this have to do with field biology you might ask? Well, Cartier-Bresson also once said that "a photograph could fix eternity in an instant" and I completely agree. I want to remember this experience for years to come, and photos are the way to do so. For the most part, I have been taking photos throughout my internship using my easy-to-use point-and-shoot Panasonic in order to document this amazing journey. However, I have also taken my Nikon D90 Digital SLR camera out on some spontaneous adventures. Just my bike, my music, and camera. So I would like to share with you today some of the photos I have taken throughout my journey here in The Bahamas, taken with a both a point and shoot and DSLR, photos that were taken underwater and on land, and photos of human and nature subjects. I hope you enjoy.
