Making our 5th straight appearance at the Dive & Travel Show in Tacoma, Washington, Kathryn and I will be participating in this year's show. On Saturday at 12PM we are scheduled to present our seminar, "Shoot Like A Pro - Tips & Tricks For Improving Your Underwater Photography."

The Philippines ~ Ohh, Yeah Baby!!!

Didn't see this one coming a few months ago, but like General Douglas MacArthur, Kathryn and I did say, "We shall return." Yes, The Philippines once again looms on our horizon. We booked our flights today!

The Facebook Wars.

And the win goes to the Wonder Spouse!  :)

Scuba Diving Legend Stan Waterman: A Class Act!

February 18, 2012. I felt like I won the proverbial lottery on this day at Our World Underwater in Chicago. As a room emcee, it was my distinct pleasure to introduce diving legend, Stan Waterman, before one of his seminars to a packed room of attendees. What a fine gentleman and a true raconteur he is, as well as being a warm and gracious man. By any measure, he is a class act! After his presentation, I asked Stan if he would agree to pose for photo with me. I handed my camera to another photographer in the room so the moment was captured for posterity. Good times!

Chicago, Chicago I'll Show You Around - We Love It!

February 16, 2012: Today was an absolutely fabulous sunny day in Chicago. Kathryn and I spent the day strolling along Michigan Avenue and stopped in for the afternoon tea service at a fine establishment called, Russian Tea Time, in Chicago's Grant Park District.

Snapped this picture of Kathryn near the Michigan Avenue Bridge when she was not expecting it.

Yup, I just had to pose for this one. ;)

We were flying on Valentine's Day, so stopped in for afternoon tea at one of Kathryn's favourite tea lobbies, Chicago's legendary, Drake Hotel. Simply, divine!

Valentines Day 2012: A Clearer Future, Morning, Evening, Nights With You!

February 14, 2012 -  A Happy Valentines Day to my adorable and loving wife, Kathryn!

While every day spent with you is like Valentine's Day, today I will blatantly steal a quote from the movie, "Meet Joe Black," that could just as easily be written on my soul from me, to you.

"Take love, multiply it by infinity and take it to the depths of forever... and you still have only a glimpse of how I feel for you."

Thank You!, my darling young one for being all I've ever dreamed of finding in another person and ohhh sooooo very much more. Happy "5th" Valentine's Day, lover!  XOXO
