I was walking along the beach a few nights ago and noticed the Christmas lights up over the aquarium at the end of the pier here by the beach. I felt suddenly lucky to have seen those decorations during more than one holiday season in my life. It made me think about all of the... Continue Reading →
Shadow and dark by Janice Nigro Shadow and dark: it is a poetic way to describe the winter light in Northern Europe. Not my words, but an accurate description of the form of light that occurs in between 9:30 and 15:30 along the coast of Norway in winter. Last year, I discovered the fantastic benefits...

Dykking tvang meg til å bli kunstner av Janice Nigro (norsk redigerte av Eli Anita Engebø) to see the post in English go to https://janikiink.com/2014/04/13/scuba-diving-made-me-an-artist/ Jeg hadde aldri tatt et bilde før jeg gikk under vann, og da jeg endelig gjorde det, ble det bestemt i siste minutt. Jeg var på vei til LAX tre... Continue Reading →
The story behind it by Janice Nigro I got kicked out of the basic research system, simply put. A lot of disappointment followed, and perhaps only when I was on a beautiful island in Indonesia talking with the dive guides who could sing, play the guitar, and make jokes to me in English with single...

Algae seem to be the real underwater artists which supply colorless animals with a coat of "paint". The giant clams... Continue Reading →
Day 4 of the black and white challenge. I love this photo of honeycomb coral but I sometimes wonder whether my tastes are too simple in underwater photography. It was somehow an easy photograph to take and yet I am not sure how often people actually stop to take such photos of the coral. It... Continue Reading →
Day 3 of the black and white challenge. Goby on closed soft coral. It looks like a trick that suddenly the soft coral disappeared and revealed the hiding place of the goby. I just really liked the texture without the soft coral "flowers".
My second entry in the 5 day black and white challenge. Some more famous so-called celebrity backsides have been flooding/plaguing the internet lately. I thought I would challenge those photos with a classy photo of a nudibranch...sort of from behind...
Yikes my photos are usually all about color and I have been tagged in a black and white challenge. My first photo then is a black and white of a black and white nudibranch very up close...taken in Lembeh Strait, Indonesia. A friend calls them the Chanel nudibranch.
