  • What I love so much about stand up paddle boarding is its ability to transport one, surrounded by nature, to a quiet, meditative state. On a perfect full moon, windless evening in late September, I got to photograph the nighttime version of this. Waterproof LED lights are attached to the bottom of the boards, illuminating the water below which meant the paddlers could see fish passing by. I photographed this from a jetty at a harbor near my<br />
house and was stunned by the beauty of it.

  • Every year since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, Kurt Martin has attached an American flag to one weir pole at each of his five weir traps. Orleans fisherman, Kurt Martin, owns and operates one of the last weirtrap fishing outfits left on Cape Cod. Weirs are an ancient form of trapping fish. They were used by Native Americans hundreds of years ago and have changed little since. They're an environmentally friendly form of fishing as, unlike in other forms of commercial fishing, undersized fish are not caught alongside adult fish.

  • Uelia Hayward, 42, is photographed in the home she shares with her husband John, in Eastham, MA. Uelia grew up in the Philippines and came to the United States in 2001. Her very first routine mammogram revealed a tumor. "I never drank or smoked, and led a very active lifestyle. I was lucky in that my OBGYN insisted that her patients start screening at 40, and not the new guidelines of 45. I would probably not be here now otherwise," she says. She was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), stage 2B. This form of breast cancer is particularly aggressive and complex to treat. "I had a terrible reaction to the chemo and ended up in the emergency room after my first infusion. That night my husband was despairing, wondering how we were going to do one more session, let alone the fifteen scheduled. I was too out of it to recall," she explains. "What helped get me through it was my husband and mom, practicing yoga, and taking long walks. Having strong support is so critical to surviving this disease. I will be eternally grateful for the support of my loved ones during my treatment and

Mauna Kea is 13,796ft high but from from the bottom of the ocean, is the tallest mountain in the world at 33,500ft.  Due to its high altitude, dry environment and isolated geographical location, Mauna Kea's summit is one of the best sites in the world for astronomical observation. Since the creation of an access road in 1964, thirteen telescopes funded by eleven countries have been constructed at the summit.
