Who am I? Some time ago, it matters not how long, I began writing. I wrote about friendship and what it is to have a friend that you can talk to about the simplest or most complex of things with total trust, honesty and without judgement. That I am a man and my friendship is with a woman other than my wife may raise a few eyebrows in those that would choose to imagine otherwise, yet I can assure you it is very possible. My wife is a wonderful person and she is my first friend. She is also my truest love. At the same time as I, she has formed a friendship with my friend as well and can testify that it is possible to see beyond the expectations or beliefs so often cast by society that knows life only as grown ups do. That with respect for one another and the relationships held true, anything is possible, maybe even unique. Like children we hold no expectations of what the friendship we have is except that it is what it is, and that it remains strong. With pure and true intent you too can find what I am lucky to have found.
When The Water Is Life.
It has been a while since I have posted a piece in my blog, not from having nothing to write about, but for finding the time and the headspace to do it in a way which is fitting for my readers.
Ove the last while I have spent at least one day a weekend underwater, washing away the cares of the world. I have spent countless moments trying to find the right direction for the next major film exploit, and at the same time have watched on, inspired by some very eye opening efforts. I am coming to realise more that my journey from taking just photographs of the marine life I see, to capturing them as a moving image is not only critical to my audience gaining a better understanding, but it is also a very difficult exercise. A photograph, a great photograph can tell a story of many words, however a great video can speak so many more. Like a photograph it still needs to be special, to be something that few may have seen or which is charged with emotion and awaits that collective wow as it wraps the audience up in its cinematic embrace. I enjoy every moment underwater, whether it be the chill of winter where 8 degree Celsius water fills my wetsuit and gives me brain freeze as my body fights to warm the parts of me critical to my own survival, or the depths of summer where the heat has your body fighting off dehydration as it produces enough sweat to cool you down before you are able to immerse yourself in the cool water. Regardless of those conditions, I can only reassure you that the marvel of life I see is wonderful to say the least and for certain worth every bit of time spent. Read More →
