Among all the amazing interactions I had with whales during this 2022 season, this is one of the moments that stand out.

This is an adult humpback whale getting really curious about the strange creature I am to his eyes. Keep in mind, this image was shot with a wide angle lens, so this big guy was insanely close! Imagine being underwater while an animal the size of a bus comes within arm reach and look at you right in the eyes...

A very impressive and touching moment from this 2022 whale season as you don't get that kind of intimate encounter very often.
