About me

I've studied bioluminescence for 30 years, specifically focusing on jellyfish. My recent research includes luminous phenomena in Tasmania, and I'm writing a coffee table book on glowing things. My fascination with fluorescence and experience with photography will help you find and take pictures of these unforgettable plants and animals.
