Half of the world’s Blue-Footed Boobies population live in the Galapagos archipelago.
Female boobies lay between two to three eggs a year, creating high competition between the offspring. Blue-footed booby chicks practice facultative siblicide, opting to cause the death of a sibling based on environmental conditions and resulting in one survivor that portrays natural selection in every generation.
Both parents take care of the nest for about 45 days and feed the chicks together, by regurgitation for approximate two months.

I'm a Belgian based in Ecuador since 1992. My passion for photography comes from my love of the outdoors, nature, the mountains, the sea. I want to encapsulate some magical moments and share some of the most extraordinary places on earth with all those who are sensitive to the beauty of this wonderful nature. I try to capture the poetry, the drama or the force of nature in the colors, in the details, in the shapes. My goal is to share beauty and emotions.
