If you've always wanted to swim with the dolphins in their natural habitat, but can't afford to go to the Bahamas, Tsuneo Nakamura will bring them to you. Although he is modest enough to state that he was sometimes lucky to press the shutter at the right moment in taking these pictures, it is impossible to find fault with a single image. There's little point in trying to interpret the behaviors and motivations of dolphins through our human perspective, says Dr. Randall Wells, a renowned dolphin researcher. We can admire and appreciate their beauty, grace, and intelligence on its own terms, he notes, and even the aquaphobic will get to know them intimately through Nakamura's viewfinder.
