34 years ago, I took this photo as Miami Metrozoo prepared for the arrival of Hurricane Andrew. Little did I know that it would become an iconic image of one of the greatest natural disasters in U.S. history. #hurricaneflamingos #hurricaneandrew #nikonusa #nikonambassador

Proud to stand next to these two amazing women! Thank you Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz and Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen for making sure that standing up for what is right always takes priority over politics. I am honored to call them friends.

New baby southern hairy-nosed wombat born at Zoo Miami! An amazing and adorable marsupial from Australia that is unique in many ways including that its poop comes out in cubes!

splashmags.com/2026/08/the-c… I'm on a mission to make the American flamingo the official State Bird of Florida! I've been asked, why the flamingo? Here are my answers to many of the questions I have been asked. I think it's a win-win for flamingos and the state of Florida! #flamingo

An absolutely amazing evening sitting in the front row thanks to the incredible generosity of special friends, to see the Lionel Richie/Earth, Wind, & Fire concert! This song was especially moving for me. Very moving to see 8,000 people sing this together! We need more of this.

In honor of International Pink Flamingo Day, here is one of my favorite images ever taken of me by legendary Miami Herald photographer Patrick Farrell. This was during a flamingo "roundup" in preparation for an oncoming hurricane several years ago!
