WESTERN POND TURTLES - BETWEEN TWO SHELLS

In the spirit of this year's theme entreating us to slow down our fast-paced lives to celebrate the species we love and the mysteries that surrounds them, I am excited to debut a nature documentary more than ten years in the making. Western Pond Turtles - Between Two Shells marks the culmination of my attempt to spend less time capturing turtles and more time observing and recording the natural history of these remarkable species. By simply waiting and watching, I've been fortunate enough to witness western pond turtles nesting within arm's reach, laying eggs, courtship, and more. And some of it, I've been lucky enough to capture on film. I invite you to join me on this journey between two shells...
