What is success? by Janice Nigro You meet a lot of people in a sort of migratory state while traveling around the world. Some are starting out life on their own in a new country while others are well into their lives and still open to new adventures. Some seem lost or not sure about... Continue Reading →
Will you be here next week? by Janice Nigro I suppose being a scientist all of my life and being trained ironically to adhere to the repetition of a so-called logical stepwise process (purpose, methods, results…repeat) has made me somewhat envious of more artistic types who can sit down and write a poetic sentence about...

favorite subjects to photograph by Janice Nigro Plenty of tongue-twisting words for underwater creatures exist. Somehow mine for most of my life was simply anemone. Even as I write this, spell correct just corrected the word anemone. For me, it remains a conscious effort to say or write this word correctly. Eventually I realized my... Continue Reading →
The silent retreat by Janice Nigro A conversation between two way cooler than me California women about a type of retreat where there is no conversation-a silent retreat-and I immediately recognized a parallel in my own world-scuba diving. That’s scuba diving, I shouted out without hesitation, and suddenly I gained respect as more than... Continue Reading →

There was no Godiva in Norway except at the airport, although I have to wonder what my choices would have been if I had been living in Ulaanbaatar. My friends live in or are from places I want to visit.... Continue Reading →
the liveaboard and speed socializing… by Janice M. Nigro I have to admit, even though I ignore it, the liveaboard is a potential backdrop for huge drama. It is several days out to sea, so the first challenge is to arrive on time for the departure and with your gear. The second challenge is that... Continue Reading →
More on scuba diving and being an artist… by Janice Nigro As a diver and a photographer, I think it is simple, if you are looking for something “new” to photograph, take a look underwater. So now you have the underwater camera equipment, what exactly do you do with it? There are of course a... Continue Reading →
Scuba diving made me an “artist” by Janice Nigro I never took a photo until I went underwater. And when I did, it was a last minute decision. I was on my way to LAX about three hours before my flight to Nadi, Fiji eight years ago, when I stopped by Samy’s Camera in Los... Continue Reading →
the Diver’s dictionary by Janice Nigro Have you ever used the words pygmy, pipe, and dragon together? You might, if you are a scuba diver. There is the technical aspect to diving like any sport, but to really discuss your dives, you need a whole new list of vocabulary words for the real, but fantasy-like... Continue Reading →
