ON THE COVER
By Ryan Chachi Craig
On the way to Big Sur, a few friends and I decided to do a quick free-dive just outside the Monterey Bay Aquarium in a calm little corner. Not long after we entered the water, we were greeted by this curious harbor seal who played hide-and-seek between us and the kelp for over 45 minutes. Little did I know I would take a picture that has been a crowd favorite for much of my photography career that morning 15 or so years ago.
