Swimming with Moby Dick Sans The Gear

If diving and swimming with sperm whales at the frigid waters of Alaska is the epitome of stupidity, then no one is more foolish than a famed photographer from New York who just did that. And the result was tons of amazing speedy encounter photos with the giants of the ocean. The term 'stupidity' is not the expression you would craving to associate with the said photographs; not provided you know how the snapshots were taken. And that's where the 'stupidity' part comes in.
The photographer (I forgot the label of the man, so sue me), along with his crew, flew to Alaska's conurbation of Anchorage, rented a humble fishing boat and relentlessly scanned the icy waters of the Alaskan seas for signs of the sperm whales. Forthwith to wholly grasp the picture of the situation, sperm whales are one of the biggest animals in the world, the largest toothed animal on this planet. An adult male sperm whale can grow up to 20.5 meters (67 feet) enlarged and can weigh on an principles of 13-14 tons (12000-12000 kg). Any male with a general idea testament not venture out into the ajar sea looking out for these creatures. And any thinking person will know that one lash of its huge tail could make the ocean floor a graveyard for any man unfortunate enough. On the contrary the photographer from New York did. So it's either courage or foolhardy stupidity. The latter seems to be the thinking choice. On the other hand it gets enhanced half-baked than that.
Our brave and dense (forgive the redundancy, it's for emphasis) photographer along with his, her, valorous crew was able to spot a husk of sperm whales. The New Yorker went to prepare his underwater camera, his anti-cold scuba suit, his swimming goggles, and his scuba fins. No respiration apparatus, no safety cage, no snorkels. Heck, no scuba gear that could spell the difference between brio and death.
His plan: to catch photos while swimming with the whales in au naturelle fashion. Can it purchase more stupid than that?
Of course, as mentioned earlier, he came back alive with no mishap, except for some body shaking after swimming in nearly sub-zero waters. He suffered no irreparable damage, which is a blessing, one should say. The photographs were sensational and majestic. The photographer? Doughty and daring, yes. Stupid? HELL YEAH!
