That was one of the best decision I ever made. My favorite subject is sharks, but I really enjoy photographing most anything underwater from tiny shrimp to massive shipwrecks. I hope to capture images that inspire people to care about the ocean and the creatures that live in it. I shoot with an Olympus OM-D E-M1, Nauticam housing, and Sea&amp;Sea YS-D2 strobes.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.underwaterphotography.com\/Members\/Member-Profile.aspx?ID=43010\"><br \/>\nFull Profile<\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"hr-bar\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear-floats\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every week, a weekly winner is chosen by one of our judges and is displayed throughout the whole week at [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":943,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[9],"tags":[59,7,4],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.3 -
