Beauty Review

October 27, 2012

The Last Reef recently opened at the Imax Victoria cinema in Victoria B.C, and garnered this review in the Times Colonist newspaper. “As far as jaw-dropping imagery goes, The Last Reef is hard to beat as it effectively parallels behaviour in these heavily populated “cities beneath the sea” with bustling urban centres – notably New York, captured with dazzling time-lapse photography.” “What differentiates The Last Reef, even this non-3D version, is D.J.

Palau's World Heritage

October 27, 2012

Coral Sperm Bank

July 24, 2012

Another New York Times article today, this one more positive, about the work of scientist Mary Hagedorn at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology: she is attempting to create a coral sperm bank, by capturing and preserving coral spawn. Coral spawning can be a predictable event, taking place at certain times of the year, but specifically in relation to a full moon, usually a couple of days afterwards. Some coral spawning can be predicted almost to the hour. So Mary’s idea of capturing and f...
