How is it that adventure just seems to find some people? For photographer and traveler David Barron, the secret may lie in some combination of an open mind, raw luck, an appetite for hands-on learning, and never missing a chance to indulge in friendly banter. But behind all that is a well-honed radar set to tune in to opportunity, wherever it arises--and a willingness to follow that signal as far as it leads. Pulling a Whale: True Stories of Opportunity and Serendipity follows David on his journeys around the world, from Barrow in northern Alaska to many of the breathtaking wildlife research projects he photographed for Earthwatch to spending time with sea turtles in Baja, sperm whales in Mauritius, or coyotes in Kentucky. Abundantly depicted with the author's full-color photos, these inviting stories are imbued with warmth and humor and are full of inspiration for readers of any age who long for a life-changing adventure.
Autorenporträt
David Barron is a freelance photographer who has worked for private schools, colleges, and nonprofits in the Boston area since 1987. Between shoots, he frequently travels to photograph wildlife and wondrous places. David's early travels with his sister and parents were instrumental in sparking wanderlust, and his first trip through Asia, taken after he lived in Israel for an extended time, inspired his long-held belief that the world is boundless, full of places to see and opportunities to fulfill. This has led David to weave a path through many countries on seven continents, all the while taking photographs that document his journeys. Pulling a Whale presents a selection of colorful stories from David's travels that illustrate how "opportunity and serendipity" can lead to amazing experiences--stories he hopes will inspire readers to pursue adventures of their own.
