Photo by @DavidDoubilet A southern stingray glides across a perfect ocean stage of textured sand, ultra clear water and clouds in North Sound Grand Cayman Island. I began photographing this population of stingrays when there were 7 stingrays and each had a name. The small group of rays appeared daily where the fishing boats processed their catch. Divers began to swim with the rays and quickly learned they were gentle curious creatures. @ナショナルジオグラフィック Magazine published the story of stingrays and people began to arrive in the Cayman Islands to swim with and learn about the rays. Over the years more rays appeared each day and so did more people: hundreds of snorkelers, divers and cruise ship tourists come to North Sound every day to meet the stingrays who now number a few hundred. North Sound has become one of the most popular ocean destinations on the planet and southern stingrays have become ocean ambassadors greeting people in the sea and hoping for a small morsel of squid. In the late afternoon the rays begin to disappear to do stingray things or bury themselves in the sand for a rest. Imagery and storytelling created a desire for a personal experience encounter in the sea. Now the rays and other sea life is protected and contributing to the Cayman economy and environment and visitors leave with a better understanding of the fragile and finite nature of the oceans.
