The first of a small serie of ballpoint pen drawings I made from nightmarish memories. And I think I'm not alone to remember this one

A Prayer of the Seal

Lord,
The rock is hard, but the sun is warm.
I thank You for this heavy skin that keeps the cold at bay,
and for this moment of stillness away from the crashing surf.
I am large, and perhaps ungraceful on the land,
but here, with my flippers clasped,
I am simply Your servant, enjoying the light.
Amen.

(Missing from Prayers of the Ark by Carmen Bernos de Gasztold, 1963 (English edition), 1947 & 1955 (French editions).

Lunging Leopard. Winner, Up & Coming, and Up & Coming Underwater Photographer of the Year. Blount: “For years, the leopard seal topped my Antarctic wish list, a predator I dreamed of encountering face to face. I have to say, this dive was everything I could have hoped for: clear water, good lighting, and a playful seal. Leopard seals wield an astonishing array of dominance displays, and this one put them all to use, darting around me with effortless power.”

Rockpool Rookies. Winner, Portrait, and Underwater Photographer of the Year 2026. Smith: “Once several weeks old and weaned from their mother’s milk, elephant seal pups are abandoned by their parents on shore, left to navigate life alone. On Sea Lion Island in the Falklands, I watched dozens of them clamber over one another in shallow rockpools, awkwardly learning to swim, and quite engaging to my presence. I’d come here for this moment, to witness and photograph their first solo lessons in life.”
