An inauspicious beginning by Janice Nigro The first “underwater” experience that I remember vividly was the submarine ride at Disneyland probably because of the giant clam. We stockpile these images, and it is never clear when they might reappear in our life. For me, it would be over 30 years later when I, as a... 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 →

It feels so great when you first arrive home, that holiday reverie, and suddenly it disappears when you realize that no one else has had a holiday and they are stuck in the same problems that existed at work when you left.

It was during my... Continue Reading →
Travel networking a.k.a. Filipino connections by Janice Nigro I kind of took the no planning approach to an extreme for the Philippines. I did not know where exactly I would stay or for how long when I got there. Not even for the first night. Furthermore, I was not exactly sure what I would find... Continue Reading →
A summary of Raja Ampat, Gangga Island, Kungkungan Bay, (Indonesia) and Moalboal, Dauin, and Bohol (Philippines). My view of underwater. Highly "macro-ized" as my Canon G15 is not well equipped for wide angle. Some photos I have obviously taken artistic liberties with, but almost all are the natural colors highlighted by the strobes. My obsessions... Continue Reading →
