PO BOX 416408
Miami Beach, FL 33141

Falling in the blue depths, being surrounded by a school of jacks and barracudas, listening to the songs of whales and
dolphins, watching the elegant dance of a manta ray, silently escorting a whale shark or playing with a sea lion: these
experiences produce emotions that can never be forgotten, as well as the dance of a tiny goby or the pastel hues of soft
coral. Curiosity makes me wait patiently for marine creatures to go on with their business; patience and knowledge are the
underwater photographer's best allies. Patience rewards with unrepeatable moments. Knowledge makes one focus on the
important elements, and allows one to foresee what is about to happen. Perhaps there's a third eye that makes you watch
in the right direction or helps you make the decision that will result in the best shot. All the planning, thinking,
concentrating, and waiting are not difficult for me; it is a labor of love. Underwater photography represents the ultimate
love
affair with nature: it is an opportunity to represent the creativity of nature in a personal expression of art.
