Secret Sea is a book about connections. Move within it however you choose; from macro to wide-angle, front to back--back to front, or, like the radiating arms of a starfish, push out from the center. Forming a unique expression, the individual images, as intriguing as each is, are meant to be viewed not only singly, but as components within a series. Slip beneath the surface of the Secret Sea and take a closer look at a glorious and seldom-seen world of unparalleled beauty.
