Masters of Disguise

Where Alaska's Harriman Glacier spills out of the fjord and icebergs fall into Prince William Sound, a sea otter swims around chunks of floating ice. What the otter fails to notice is that one of those white masses isn't ancient water slowly returning to liquid form, but is instead Michael deGruy, a Santa Barbara, U.S.-based filmmaker. To capture vivid, low-angle shots of the mammal in its habitat, deGruy is wearing painter's coveralls over cold-water diving gear.
