This photograph represents to me the quiet realization of a goal I did not know I was seeking. It happened in October 2018. This is a bottle nosed dolphin in the Adriatic Sea near Rovinj, Croatia. We were out on a boat when these dolphins began to jump right next to us at dusk. Again, I did not have a motor drive - I just watched carefully and waited and I let my heart decide when to make the exposure. Had I not had the experience in Katmai, I probably would still have been "shooting" with a long lens and motor drive and I absolutely would not have made a single image of a dolphin. This was made with a 75 mm normal lens on a Leica M10 rangefinder camera. But that was just the tool. The image really was made in that moment of suspension of thought. In his book "The Photographic Life," Sam Abell recounts the advice given him by another Zen master of archery. "Don't aim." Here I set the aperture wide open and a shutter speed of 1/125 sec. I've had a similar experience in surgery before where all landmarks are lost and you just have to let go, trust intuition. Let something greater than yourself guide you.
