I worked for a year as Director of Operations of a dive operation in Santo, Vanuatu. Almost everyone came to Santo to dive the wreck of the 650' President Coolidge. While there I logged more than 150 dives on the wreck itself, with many highlight reel dives. MIllion Dollar Point was also a very popular dive site and got it's name when the US Forces pushed an estimated 1,000,000.00 worth of construction equipment and materials into the ocean. Two images in my underwater/sealife gallery "Truck Lagoon" (not to be confused with Truk Lagoon) and "Bulldozer City" were taken at Million Dollar Point. |

I will be exhibiting one of my photographs, "People Hugger" (landscape outdoor gallery) from December 20, 2008 to March 1, 2009 at the Surrey Art Gallery in Surrey, BC. The exhibition is called "Earth Matters". This juried photography exhibition reflects upon contemporary issues of environment, sustainablilty, and the natural world. |

In 1992 I was living and working in Phuket, Thailand. I was the photo pro on the Marina Divers liveaboard dive boat, "Albatross". I lived on the island year round so I was there to take in the Phuket Vegetarian Festival which happened during low season. The first year I was there I found the event a little freaky and was shooting more from the sidelines. The second year I felt more able to get into the action and got some close up shots of some of the festival particiapants. I don't endorse the spirit over the flesh aspect of the event, for me spirit must balance with the flesh but most modern religons seem to put spirit on a pedestal and tell us that the flesh is weak and should be overcome. That isn't what I personally believe but I share images of the event. |
