Bob began scuba diving in the early 70’s in the waters around New England. His first experience with coral reefs was during a trip to Pennekamp State Park off Key Largo, Florida. The contrast between the hardy and muted New England ocean waters and the wildly colorful tropical water was incredible. He began taking underwater photographs about 20 years ago to capture this beauty.
Bob began to notice significant changes in the reefs over the years. Areas of dead coral were expanding. He then realized that this beauty was very fragile. Pollution and warming ocean temperatures are damaging this underwater world. Unfortunately, most people never get to see this magical world and being out of sight it is often out of mind. It is Bob’s desire that his photographs will in some small way increase our awareness of what a treasure exists under our oceans.
Bob’s photographs consist of those that are natural underwater scenes and those that he features a particular sponge or coral with a species of fish. The latter allows the viewer to focus on and better appreciate the unique organisms that are underwater and the wide color pallets of these creatures.
Bob switched from film to digital in 2001. The high resolution digital cameras provide an equivalent quality to film. Digital cameras provide instant feedback on the captured scene. In addition, the ability to take several hundred photographs during a dive instead of being limited to 36 exposures is a clear advantage.
Bob won first and second prize in the All Island Art Show in Oak Bluffs, Marthas Vineyard.
Along with Scuba diving and Photography Bob has founded three computer networking companies and served as the Vice President of Marketing. Bob is still involved in the corporate and non-profit world as an advisor to several startup companies. When he is not underwater or on land Bob is in the air. He flies a Cessna 182 and volunteers his time to Angel Flight.
