As
an Expedition Leader aboard various cruise vessels, Colin has explored
some of the most remote and beautiful places in the world including
South East Asia, the Amazon, Seychelles, Russian Far East, the South
Pacific, Micronesia, the Canadian and Russian Arctic, Greenland, the
North Pole, and Antarctica. The passengers aboard his ships look to
him to serve as a part-time naturalist, travel guide and teacher.
Through this combination of roles and his subtle use of color and
design, Colin's photography communicates the magnificence and grandeur
of the unique sights around him.

"So many of us live our entire
life surrounded by the comfort of familiarity. Even when we travel,
we tend to stay close to places that seem 'safe'. Through my photography,
I hope to make exotic places such as Antarctica more accessible...to
stimulate an awareness of the expansiveness of our world," explained
Colin. Additionally, Colin hopes that by sharing the beauty and diversity
of these pristine locations, he can encourage their preservation.
Currently, Colin makes his home in Santa Barbara,
CA. Working as a professional photographer, he still finds time
to guide natural history adventure trips, explore the Santa Barbara
area and the undersea life of the Channel Islands. His latest
travels plans will take to Svalbard (Spitsbergen) in the high
arctic above Norway. He is planning a 10 day cruise through the
ice in search of polar bears, walrus, seals and to soak in the
subtle beauty of the arctic. In addition he has plans for guiding
in Churchill, Manitoba with the Polar Bears again this fall (6th
year in a row).
