You have to love living in the DR in winter.  Beautiful cool morning, +21C or so, and sunny hot afternoons!  Yeah, I don't miss scraping the windshield.

Our winter here has been incredible.  The ocean has been unusually calm and we have had some excellent visibility!  Today was easy 40 meters!  Simply stunning.  Wide angle lens tomorrow!

Spent the last couple weeks trying to figure out a new camera.  LONG - SLOW learning process, but making some progress.  The "macro" lens looks like it will be to "go to" lens.  Thanks Ron DeVries for the tip!  Trying to add a 5x diopter to it and we will see where that goes!

A big shout out to Brian (Maddog) Thomas - THE grand poobah of scuba and the person who really got me hooked on this beautiful world!  Happy Birthday Buddy.

Most of our diving here is at about the 60 foot level or slightly deeper.  Not a huge amount of light penetration so it is a bit challenging!  Lol, need to work on getting some of those 30 foot dives in to get the light in the background!  The little Christmas Tree Worm above (about a 1/2 inch tall) was shot at 35 feet!  

A huge thanks to everyone who follows my page and my photos and hey, lets all work to reduce plastic, to save our oceans and our environment, and to enjoy life on the third rock!

Stay safe, stay healthy, save our reefs.

Welcome to 2019 - albeit a bit late!

Finally got around to updating the website; been a while.

It's been a great winter here so far with pretty calm seas and great vis.  Excellent opportunity to get out and enjoy the tranquility of Mother Ocean. Every moment in the ocean is special, and so very peaceful.

Check out the new website design and please add a comment!  It's always great to hear from you.  

Had a great exhibition at "Silently 6" in Belgrade, Serbia.  You can view my portfolio on the home page here.  Very honored to be invited to participate and a huge Thank-you to all of the organizers.

Just a quick note:  Any of the photos here are available in high quality photo paper or printed on canvas. Drop me a note for prices if you are interested!  Thank-you to everyone who is currently displaying my work!

Testing out and learning how to use some new camera equipment and it is proving to be a bit of a challenge, but a real fun one.  Looking forward to some good results.

Have a great February everyone and please save our oceans!   They are the life blood of our planet.
