Sharks at the Academy of SciencesAbout 2,600 people turned out to "Sharktoberfest" this year to learn more about these misunderstood and very necessary creatures.
Thank you to VJ Tony Roxxx for spinning my shark video footage to the beats of Opulent Temple and for my gallery collaboraters; Alison Towner, Lalo Saidy, and Fiona Ayerst. Thanks to Zach Worthington for shooting the event and many thanks to Kathi Koontz and Cat Aboudara from the Academy for making it all happen. Many accolades to David McGuire and the Sea Stewards volunteers for their presentations and their continuous work making the ban on shark-fin trade in California a reality.
