A photographic journey through Baja California’s Pacific coast region.

Baja’s Wild Side features the breathtaking photography of shark expert and Scripps marine biologist Dr. Dan Cartamil as he explores Baja California’s Pacific coast region.

This exhibition chronicles a fragile paradise of remote and hauntingly beautiful landscapes, wildlife, and ancient rock art—on the verge of being taken over by modern civilization. From the high sierra to the desert to the surf-pounded Pacific, visitors will discover Baja’s little-known “wild side.”

Dr. Daniel Cartamil is a shark expert based at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. With more than 20 years of experience as a marine biologist, Dan is also an adventure photographer, environmental consultant, and avid conservationist. He lives in San Diego.
