About Me
Like any other underwater photographer, I always hope to see somthing interesting and exciting during a dive. Usually, though, creatures do not just swim up to you to pose for a photograph. Interesting life forms are rarely visible to the unpracticed eye. The other problem to contend with as a photographer who loves to practice her art underwater are those uncooperative animals who just won't hold still, not to mention rough seas, currents, poor visibility and finicky photo equipment.
I am always ecstatic when I return from a dive with beautiful images. Being consistently successful with underwater photography means learning to regularly overcome problems as simple as proper breathing. Getting a shot of a shy critter while bobbing up and down in the water for lack of proper buoyancy control is not easy. Trying to focus on a subject when a current wants to take you away from an area of interest is another challenge. Thus, underwater shooters have far more to content with than our terrestrial counterparts, but it is all good and I would not want it any other way.
I have taken to underwater photography years ago because I feel peaceful whenever I am diving. There is no other place on earth that fills me with such awe as the underwater world does. I like everything in this wonderland, the beautiful, the wild and the weird. I always feel refreshed and spiritually cleansed after a day of diving. I take great care to protect, never harrass or invade. I never touch, I accept, I love and respect the creatures whose habitat I am allowed to share. I wish I could share all the myriad of impressions and images imprinted on my mind with you. For now, I am happy you found this site and I hope you enjoy the images of my friends.
