This artist likes to watch and does not say much. He was forever struck by the Peter Sellers character Chauncey Gardiner who also credited himself as someone who likes to watch. Duk likes to watch and capture what he watches through the lens. Using the nickname the smaller folk in his family initially knew him by, he feels like a less conspicuous observer and captor of the moment. As a competitive sailor and human being at large his life hopscotch's him about to continue his awestruck fascination with Mother Nature and her ability to remind us of both the larger picture in that everything in her world is interwoven and whom indeed is decidedly in charge. Duk and his camera have awakened in some amazing places, including remote fishing villages in Japan, lagoons in Mexico where gray whales calve and breed, 200 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico where Sperm Whales congregate and feed on giant squid; and in remote corners of Alaska observing Kodiak Bears snap Sockeye Salmon in pretzel like half for a roe snack while shoulder deep in a cool creek waters.
