  Dr. Tom Burns has been photographing sharks for over 20 years. His 
pursuit of shark encounters has taken him around the world. Years of 
in-water interactions with sharks, often without the barrier of a 
cage, has allowed him to obtain a real perspective of these 
intelligent animals. Based on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, it is the 
sharks of New England that have become his focus including the Mako 
shark, Basking shark, Porbeagles and the rare Hammerhead and Tiger sharks.

Beyond the species profiles, Dr. Burns will give the audience 
background on how he dives, photographs, and interacts with these 
different species.  Some might be surprised to learn that he never 
uses a shark cage and will sometimes use aerial spotters for 
encountering sharks such as hammerheads. The presentation will 
include some of Dr. Burns' stunning photographs.

Dr. Burns' photographs have been published in numerous magazines such 
as Asian Geographic, Asian Diver, and Shark Diver Magazine.  His 
images have been used by conservation organizations such as the New 
England Coastal Wildlife Alliance, and published in scientific 
journals with renowned shark scientists.  He has also worked with 
several filmmakers, such as videographer Joe Romeiro, and 
photographers such as National Geographic's Brian Skerry,
