Spent quite a bit of time in the water this weekend, but didn’t do too much photo work. I spent most of my time looking for fun things and just enjoying. Just a note, I came across a fish called a “rason” for only the second time, but of course, I didn’t have my camera Read More …
After a long break, I finally got back into the water this weekend. The reasons for the break were several: first, I was really busy, and second, I have been having arm problems, and have needed to give carrying my huge camera around a little rest. Anyways, we headed out to Antheor, in the “L’Esterel” Read More …
I went out for a dive on Wednesday, and I was super happy with the results. Just about everything I shot turned out pretty darned good, and we saw lots of interesting and new stuff. I guess it was just my day. Today was a different story. Similar group, same equipment, same dive spot, but Read More …
It’s the fourth of July, and I am celebrating by doing what I do on just about every day off that I have – diving and taking photos. I really don’t have much to say, except that I am glad to have an extra day off, and I am pretty happy with my photos taken Read More …

Not much to say about this set, except it was really nice to get out and dive with a couple good friends and then spend a wonderful afternoon picnicking and hanging out on the beach. We went to “Plage Passable” at St. Jean Cap-Ferrat. Beautiful weather, lots of sun, and good times were had. It was one of the best Saturdays I have had in a while.
I know it has been awhile since I have posted anything, but I have been laying low – taking a break from diving. I have been preparing for next spring, selling off most of my photo equipment, and saving up for a new, more professional rig. I am going with the Nikon D90 (yes, I switched teams), with an Ikelite case with 8″ dome and sigma 8-16 mm wide angle lens. My goal is around May to have everything in my possession.
Today I saw a Rhizostome; a relatively rare jellyfish that lives in open water, and can grow to 100cm/40 inches across! The one we saw wasn’t quite that big, but it was very impressive. Take a peek at the gallery.
