DESCRIPTION:
It is a story of hope. The story begins when a boy who loves the sea attends an event with underwater photographers and has an epiphany: “I had always wanted to explore the oceans, but I now understood how I would do this. It is a story of discovery. I would do it with a camera.” With sheer determination, hard work, and a little bit of luck the boy, named Brian Skerry, realized his dream with more than 20 awe-inspiring articles for National Geographic magazine.

You can't get any closer without a scuba tank."--Juliet Eilperin; national environmental reporter and author of Demon Fish: Travels Through the Hidden World of Sharks "Ocean Soul reveals an important and unreachable realm few ever are able to see.
