This is an all new Aquarium gallery. All photos taken at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA. All photos drastically downsized and not suitable for printing. Printing of any of these photos prohibited. Photos in this gallery are not for sale. More photos will be added to this gallery in the coming weeks and months as I find time to take more.

All photos taken with Nikon D80 and Nikkor 18mm-200mm VR lens. All photos taken in RAW and processed in Aperture 1.53. Then these photos are converted to JPEG and downsized for optimal online viewing only.

This is a labor of love and such shows as this cost me quite a bit out of pocket for travel, admission fees and of course equipment expenses. Please consider a small donation so that I may continue to share these photos with you. You may make a secured donation by clicking here: or better yet consider making a donation directly to the Aquarium of the Pacific.
