DAWN OF THE WARRIORS

A Man O' War appears to glow from within next to a starfish on Fort Lauderdale Beach just before sunrise. The Portuguese Man O' War is named for it's resemblance to 18th century Portuguese warships at full sail. The tentacles of the Man O' War can still sting even days after washing up on shore. What makes the Man O' War even more fascinating is that they are actually siphonophores. They are not actually a single organism but a colony of organisms working together, each with a different task.

My name is Mark Andrew Thomas and I'm a photographer and filmmaker currently residing in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I grew up in Florida right next to the Everglades and although I photograph a wide variety of subjects and locations, the Florida Everglades will always be my first love. In my career I've had the honor of working with the NatGeoWild Channel, Animal Planet, Discovery Science Network, ABC HD, and other worldwide media outlets. I hope you'll find something here that speaks to you and brings you joy, rekindles your sense of wonder, or brings back a great memory of a place you've been to. Thank you for visiting! ~ Mark Andrew Thomas
