Thank you Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber for shining a spotlight on our incredible photography instructor, Ray Pfortner!
On a misty morning in 1994, Ray Pfortner stood on the gravelly shore of a Vashon beach with his camera in hand. The quiet morning broke when a black dorsal fin exhaled through the surface of the Salish Sea yards away.
