# About me
I was born in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, and moved to the United States with my mom when I was 3 years old. I've lived in California, Hawaii (Maui {w/ family} and the Big Island {for school}), Oregon, Wisconsin (less than a year there), and currently I'm a resident in Orlando, Florida, going on 4 years. I've also done a lot of traveling, especially in recent years. I have family in both Spain and SwitzerlandI have a very strong passion for the natural world. I love photographing the nature world, with a strong emphasis on animals. I am currently a photographer at SeaWorld Orlando's Dolphin Cove. I'm also a writer. You can find my book in my gallery in its own folder,"Legacy of the White Tigress", along with other writings. It is available as an e-book on Amazon Kindle www.amazon.com/Legacy-White-Ti… . It will soon be in the process of being published in print.
I have also opened a shop on Etsy for my and 's prints: www.etsy.com/shop/EarthEmerald…
I feel that I now need to insist restraint from negative and anti-captivity comments. They will be removed. As much I'd rather see any animal in the wild rather than in captivity, especially whales and dolphins, I don't want such comments on my photos or profile. I'm not advocating that captivity is a must, nor that it is the only to see whales. I take these photos for the admiration of these animals, and share them so that others can enjoy their beauty as well, including those who have not (or will not have) the chance to see them.
Thank you

I'm so happy to see your gallery. You get to encounter many of the greatest animals of the world like I wish I could do. I don't care what those liberals say about captivity because where else would I find tigers, crocodiles, and pythons?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wouldn't lump all liberals as antis. It's not fair to those like me and my husband, because there are plenty who support conversation in all forms, including captivity. I also work at SeaWorld as a photographer, so I have the privilege to so much time around these animals. My husband and I go to other places as well when we have the opportunity, including when we travel out of state or out of country.
I am glad that you enjoy the photos

Oh sorry. I didn't know which word to use. Should've used "antis" instead. But thanks.

You're welcome. Your photography is beautiful. And I always loved SeaWorld. There used to be one in Ohio, and I miss it so much. Lol. Maybe one day I'll be able to visit one again.
Sorry for the memory rambling.
Great work, you should be a professional.
