Academy Award® Winner for Best Documentary of 2009, THE COVE

Today I had the pleasure of spending some time in Boulder, to shoot for OPS, the Oceanic Preservation Society.   While having coffee with Viki Psihoyos at OPS headquarters,  I was admiring the Oscar that Louie Psihoyos won as Director of the documentary The Cove, and she graciously allowed me to borrow the little golden man for a shoot - I couldn't help but giving an acceptance speech and thanking the Academy the minute I carefully cradled him in my arms.  The energy of years' worth of hard work, determination and gratitude resonated immediately.  I'm still in awe... thank you Louie and Viki for your friendship and  for being such strong influences in my life.
