  Tony Wu's Underwater Photography Blog — Authority: 416
  I’ve just arrived at Kasawari Lembeh Resort , and I’m getting ready to get some sleep to rest up for a full day of diving tomorrow (hurray!). Before I hit the sack, I thought I’d post one final set of images from Ogasawara…a couple of photographs of Bryde’s whales. Our final day in Ogasawara was a ...

  Tony Wu's Underwater Photography Blog — Authority: 416
  Besides the fact that we saw sperm whales, lots of dolphins, and giant squid parts(!), the trip to Ogasawara was a lot of fun. We had a terrific group of people, and Ogasawara is a laid-back, unspoiled bit of paradise in the middle of the Pacific that’s difficult not to fall in love with. Below is a short video/ ...

  If you understand the pun in the post title, I don’t think it’s necessary for me to write anything more about this photo, except to note that the dolphin is a Tursiops aduncus . If you don’t get the reference, then nothing I write will make a difference…so there’s no point in writing more.

  Tony Wu's Underwater Photography Blog — Authority: 416
  It’s been about a week since I got back from photographing sperm whales ( Physeter macrocephalus ) in Ogasawara with friends Eric Cheng , Douglas and Emily Seifert, and Julia Sumerling. There is a lot I want to write about the trip, but as a first priority, I went through my photos and tried to do something that I ...

The female humpback (whom we named Lilo) is the mother of Scratches (calf #1/ 2008) and Stitches (calf #4/ 2009) (details here ). ...

• A dead whale

  
  The Book of Barely Imagined Beings — Authority: 132
  Cutting up a whale is surprisingly easy. The animal has a thick layer of fat - the blubber - which is easily sliced. Removing the bones is less simple, as you need to know where the joints are, like when carving a roast. The flipper is composed of the same bones as our arms - humerus, radius, ulna and a ...
