INNER LIGHT

A Man O' War stranded on Ft. Lauderdale Beach in the early morning hours with Venus rising over the ocean. Man O' War are beautiful creatures but their tentacles can cause a painful sting leaving whip like welts on the skin. Their tentacles can sting for hours and sometimes days after they're dead. My intent with this photograph is to show the inner beauty and intricacy of this creature, to show beauty that others may overlook. I used a small maglite to illuminate the Man O' War from behind. As a side note I returned this stranded jellyfish to the ocean as a way of saying thanks.

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
