Sharks n Voices

Not much, except in my world! “Sharks-n-Voices” was almost the name of my website, until I decided it was a little too obscure. But it does sum up two of my greatest passions in life.

One of the benefits of working in television was the frequent breaks in production, especially during the summer. Since I had an insatiable urge for travel and adventure, I found a hobby that satisfied both. Like many people, I grew up watching Jacques Cousteau specials, and always wanted to scuba dive. Once I tried it, I knew immediately it wasn’t going to be enough to just be there; I was going to have to photograph what I saw.

So, what do sharks and voices have in common?

This my portfolio at photo.net, which is an excellent site for anyone interested in photography of all kinds:

Underwater photography is exciting, fun, artistically fulfilling, expensive and sometimes infuriating, all at the same time. It gave me a love and respect for marine life that I never quite had before. I’ve traveled all over the world, diving and making images in Fiji, the Galapagos Islands, Costa Rica, the Caribbean and Bahamas, British Columbia, Mexico, and off the coast of California.

At some point I’ll put together a proper website dedicated to my photography, but in the meantime here are some links.
