IIIIIII seeeeeeeee youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I heart animals. Who doesn't?
This guy gets in the water and takes pictures of whales. Then he puts them together into life-size pictures. Of whales. How cool is that? Really cool.

The skinny:

Austin's inspiration for this project began five years ago when he was six feet in front of a humpback whale calf when he felt a gentle tap on his shoulder - it was the mother's 15-foot, one-ton pectoral fin, extended out to gently let him know that she was watching him. It was at this moment Austin realized what had been missing in the field of whale photography and conservation. And it's this intimate interaction he hopes to achieve through his work.
