Luminescent Underwater Sea Creatures from Joshua Lambus

Hawaii-based photographer Joshua Lambus has created this collection entitled Blackwater. 

Lambus explains:

"Now being underwater I'm inundated with stories, struggles, triumphs. Seeing our fragile ecosystem inch ever closer to the verge of destruction pushes me to continue my work, not only for artistic value, but for a far greater purpose. I hope to tell a story and ask for help for those without a voice."

Bioluminescence Surfing

As a grommet it was here,  in Encinitas, Carlsbad and Oceanside, that I cut my surfing teeth. I never got to surf in this glow, but had always heard rumors about it. And here it is.
