Thanks for stopping by the Pacific Dots blog from seawildearth. This is a place where I'll be posting images and recounting adventures from my travels not just within the stunning location that is Okinawa and the Ryukyu Islands but also further afield. My wife and I prefer the appeal of smaller islands so get ready for trip reports too as we look to step onto beaches new. A large part of this blog will also be in the recounting of adventures and travels when living in awesome locations such as Micronesia, Palau and Indonesia to name a few. With plans to start traveling again with a focus on the islands of the Pacific I'm hoping this will also become a place of reference for other travelers to the region.

My current base though, Okinawa main island, is a stunning location, full of potential and so many settings for awesome imaging it would be hard to see it all. And then there are the other 100+ other islands, many uninhabited, some unexplored that make up this diverse archipelago. A truly incredible location. In all cases when photographing and filming wildlife here I aim to be as vague as possible with regards to locations so as to protect the local species from illegal collectors and wildlife trade poachers. Many of the species here are sadly endangered which also drives up their value to nefarious collectors.
