I was assigned to shoot a turtle release the other day. When I got to the Conservancy I realized that I was going to be the only photographer allowed on the boat out of the three that showed up. I think this is the first time my photos have gone out on the wire. Cool.
The turtle had a pretty interesting story. It was taken from Sanibel Island by a tourist when it was a hatchling. The tourist took it home to Minnesota, but soon realized that Minnesota is no place for a sea turtle, so they gave it ot the Minnesota Zoo where it lived for a year before coming back to Naples. It was there for three years before it was released on Wednesday.
This guy has taken care of the turtle since it arrived in Naples in 2005.
