Social Media Coordinator / Instructor / Illustrator

Location: Temple City, CA
Hometown: Temple City, CA

I got certified in summer of 2008. I started taking pictures underwater to help me remember what I saw on my dives so I can write them down in my dive log. Since then, I've upgraded my camera from a small point and shoot camera to a mirrorless camera with interchangeable lens. Some people want to see the big things like sharks and sea turtles. I delight in looking for small creatures underwater, especially nudibranchs. There are so much colors under the sea!

Finally, a picture of Spanish Shawl Eggs

February 25, 2019

Too bad the Spanish shawl is cropped off, but it was swaying back and forth so much I was happy just to get a clear shot of the nudibranch and the eggs.

Same Spanish shawl, but I like the purple outline around the base of the cerata in this image.

I finally got a picture of a Spanish Shawl laying eggs. It was perched at the tip of a hydroid and swaying to and fro in the surge as usual...
