Dave's Photography

I'm sure that Dave plans to write a blog post soon about what he's been up to lately, but just in case, I thought it was important to celebrate something big that happened today. Dave dropped off his first set of matted photos to be on display and for sale in an art gallery! Dave's photos (mostly underwater shots) will be available for sale at the Scandanavian Gallery in Havensight, right by the cruise ships. Thanks to our wonderful family members who sent supplies for this endeavor from the states (Susan, Derek). Hopefully lots of tourists will buy his photos.



To briefly explain the background, we got a really awesome digital camera in March (early birthday present for Dave) AND underwater housing for it. It's way better than the camera he uses at work to take underwater pictures of the tourists while they encounter fish while snorkeling. Then Dave got scuba certified so he could focus on photography while underwater, rather than how much longer he could hold his breath (which is actually a really long time). (I can't dive as my asthma doc won't sign off on the health form...) We're still putting his website together but once it's ready for the big debut, we'll post a link.



With scuba diving and underwater photography as his main hobby, he's made lots of friends at the local dive shop. When his morning kayak tours don't have enough people to warrant him being a photographer-guide, he sometimes goes diving instead. Not bad to be able to decide it's a good day for diving and just go do it! (Granted this only works when the tourists from whatever cruise ship is in town that day decide they don't want to go kayaking.... But I like to pretend Dave has the freedom to go dive and take photos any day he wants, while I'm stuck at work, behind a desk, in the air-conditioned office, gazing out at the beautiful Caribbean Sea. I've got it rough.)
