Progress pic of the seagrass flats painting I am currently working. Doing research for this one really gets me thinking of all the macro life that is dependent on this ecosystem. Seagrass is a crucial ecosystem to our oceans as they provide food and shelter for larval crustaceans, juvenile fishes, and sea turtles.

Juvenile parrotfish

This juvenile parrotfish darted past me during my last dive. I was fast enough to get a shot off and was lucky enough to freeze him in frame. It was a nice surprise.

Sponges of Jupiter, FL

Another shot taken while diving with Jupiter Dive Center. This sponge cluster was smaller than my open hand. Maybe not the best lighting, but I was happy with the shot, none the less.

One more brush stroke might ruin it so I feel as though this painting is complete! Now I need to name it. Any ideas?

Trumpetfish

This trumpetfish was hanging out and trying to blend into the reef as I passed by. Did you know they can change their colors to match their surroundings?

Just got back from a quick trip with @jupiterdivecenter. Great crew and lots of turtles to see. I fired off this shot as soon as we hit bottom!

Headed to Jupiter for a dive session!

Posted on July 7, 2017July 11, 2017 by Christopher

I am headed to visit the reefs of #Jupiter today and hoping to capture some great inspiration for the art studio! I will be diving with my Sony RX-100, Inon UWL-100 wide angle lens, Meikon housing, Sea&Sea Ys-01, and my 3D printed strobe arms.
