Hola, this is Daniel.

I'm from Spain, but I've been living in Seattle the last 5 years. I'm the photographer onboard for this tour. My first trip on a Greenpeace ship was in 1990! Despite all the years, I love it as much as the first day. Since I was a child, animals and nature were my passion, then a bit later came photography and traveling. I feel very lucky, I can't think of anything else I would rather be doing.

Greenpeace gives me the chance to help make a difference with my images. I am very motivated by that. In all these years I've participated in expeditions all over the world. My images have appeared in many publications and I've been lucky enough to get some awards.

In the last years I've worked a lot documenting Global Warming nd on the Amazon rainforest.

I'm always taking photos, so when I'm not working for Greenpeace I shoot for other clients. I do travel a lot and spending so much time away from home is the downside of this job. I want to use this opportunity to thank my wife Shoshana for being so supportive of my passion.

Whaling in the 21st century doesn't make any sens to me, let's work all together to stop it!

You can check some of my photos on my site: www.danielbeltra.com

Loved the slide show, excellent work. My favorites were the iceberg with the clouds above and that orca shot. You captured the majesty of that harsh yet beautiful environment. I liked your running commentary.
