 Somehow,
I have become an underwater photographer.
Since April of 2001, underwater photography has been bubbling its way
up my list of interests, and how now become one of the dominant activities that
defines who I am. I shoot professionally, but not full time.
I have been running wetpixel.com
for a few years now, which is now considered the best
online resource for underwater digital photography. It's a fantastic,
friendly community of people who help to keep underwater photography
fun. I would not have come nearly this far in such a short period of
time without the constant friendship of a few luminaries in the community
-- most notably, professional photographers Jim
Watt, David Fleetham,
Jim Abernethy,
Andy Sallmon, and Steve Drogin. Thanks also to my non-diver friends
who deal with my sporadic absense from their lives.
In the past couple of years I have managed to get myself out to some
interesting places. Even though most "normal" people consider
these places to be exotic, hanging out with traveling divers has shown
me that everything is relative; most of the folk I meet on the road
have been to many places whose names I've never even seen in print.
It's their stories and never-ending enthusiasm that have awakened
my own sense of underwater adventure.
I have a mailing list where I periodically send out announcements about trip journals and expeditions. Sign up, if you are interested!
