Hey, I’m Connor.

My life has been kind of a funny one. Do you remember the weird kid in elementary school that never stopped talking about turtles? Well… that was me.

Nowadays I probably spend more time around snakes than people, and I’m happiest covered in mud or sweat or fish goo - or best of all, all three. I started solo camping around age 7. By 16, I was living in my Subaru, following blue lines on the map, and maxing out credit cards (can you believe they give those to 16 year olds?) in pursuit of wildlife and wild places. It’s been a really good time.

So what the heck is the last dive?

The Last Dive is a storytelling project. When I was just a wee lad I picked up a camera - a simple action that would have a profound impact on my life. I’ve since picked up a lot more cameras, and spent the bulk of my time and money following them all over the world. I seek out stories of conservation successes and failures, but I also try to capture the raw reality of life in this present moment - a time when climate change casts our future into such

uncertainty. Despite the heavy realities I face through this work, I often get so swept up in wonder that I forget all of my missions entirely. I try to capture that too.
