Marc Shargel was recently interviewed by the hosts of the Energy Matters podcast. In their wide-ranging conversation, Marc talked about his long practice of meditation, discussed teaching others, and how his spiritual practice is connected to his love of the ocean and his conservation work.

Marc cites several of his favorite photos to illustrate what he talks about in the podcast. Look here for the "kelp cathedral," hammerhead sharks, sea turtles, whale sharks and the undulating curves of the sea.

Learn more about the Energy Matters podcast. Listen or subscribe if you choose. If you'd like to contact Marc about his photography or his spiritual work, you can send an email here.

Our photos are now hanging at the Edward Jones offices in Scotts Valley where they will be through early spring. Learn more.

"I've seen a lot of changes in Central California's ocean since I began diving here in 1978. I first took a camera underwater in 1982. Since then I've been using images to communicate the beauty and fragility of our marine life to people who might otherwise never know about it."
