Before I took my first pictures underwater, I was often asked "What did you see?" Well, as my mind raced to remember all of the different creatures that I came across that day, I thought "if I could only get some pictures...."
I have had some success in fulfilling that need to bring some of the things I've seen to the surface without causing their demise in the process. Although I shutter to think (no pun intended) how many rolls of film have made their way through my camara, no better for the trip.
In the last five years that I have owned the camara and housing, the ratio of good vs bad pictures has improved slightly. I have been fortunate in meeting and diving with a fellow photograper, Ethan Gordon, who was a big inspiration to me when things didn't turn out so well. He has done a nice job himself and you can see why his pictures have been featured in some of the top magazines in the country.

I have taken a few warm water trips over the years but I still enjoy diving New England as much as I ever did. The life in cold water can be just as, and in some cases, more spectacular than any warm water sites!
On the pages that follow I have put together some of my favorite pictures from the last few years.
I find it difficult in choosing which pictures to show and wish I could upload them all. But it takes too many hours. Maybe when I upgrade to a digital.........
Not many but ita a start!!
These are from my first trip to Belize. I had over six hundred slides on my return and weeks of weeding out to do. I still revisit the dive in my head as I view them.
These are from my second trip to belize. This trip was a good one.
