Thursdays seem to have become the day for dredging up images from the past. This past week I had a query from my cousin in New Zealand about the Galapagos, which he hopes to visit (and dive) next summer. In addition to giving him some info and links to resources, I also directed him to an experiential photo essay I put together from my first trip there in 2003 – which was one of the first photo essay style trip reports I ever cranked out. It was well received on the Scubadiving.com forum where I shared it, and so motivated me to continue to shoot pictures, write about them, and share my stuff.<\/p>\n

Revisiting this work all these years later brought the trip back to life for me – the sheer awe, the joy, the camaraderie, and the comedy :^)<\/p>\n

So, it’s a bit of an oldie – but hopefully a goodie. I’d like to think I’ve come a fair ways as an underwater photographer since these early days with a camera, but the image I shared above, of Twang and the Whale Shark, which was shot on this trip with an Oly 4040Z digicam, remains one of my favourite images to date.<\/p>\n

And I would love to go back to the Galapagos again, before my arse gets too old to do this kind of adrenaline diving.<\/p>\n
