Just Developed...

{all of our scuba diving pictures from trips spread out over the past three years. i know i am bad! they came back damaged from waiting too long. haha. however, i think the effect is fitting. i like how they turned out- here are a few from each of the places we have explored.}

Montego Bay, Jamaica you can tell the water here is clear and tranquil

Puerta Vallarta, Mexico the water here is icky hence the brown water
Catalina Island the water here is cold and spooky creatures hid in the kelp forests...like the octopus chris is holding!

Shark Fin Rock off the coast of Maui, Hawaii the water is deep crystal blue with small friendly sharks.

this is a picture of me surfacing the water at shark fin rock. it makes me laugh.

the colors are so funky.

exploring the under water world has captured some of the most beautiful moments chris and i have shared together. it is remarkably fascinating. feeling weightless, experiencing the colors and unknown sea life is simply romanitc.

Catching Up.

[ i currently am back in school working on a masters with certification (a new program to asu). i would love to teach high school darkroom photography. the program so far has been good but a definte challenge coming from a fine art program. however, i am loving the classroom! i am doing an internship at perry high school and my mentor teacher has thrown me into teaching some of the assignments. he is such a great teacher. its been great and the students have responded to me better than i thought. i just finished teaching the motion assignment and can't wait to see what they come up with. the photo above is from a very talented student: julianna (wont give the last name for privacy purposes). this is from the filter assignment and from a high school level she did amazing! so this is what i have been up to and staying busy with. my sweet husband has only one more semester- he is so excited! now, what happens next for us?..... this we have no idea....but for now, i wll keep making and studying photographs and husband will learn more about buildings.]

p.s. i think it's about time i put up my website to show my three years of hard work in the darkroom. right now they are under our bed. in a box. and dust is starting to collect. sad isn't it?
