water proof your iPhone…
Iphone super suit from photojojo!
I am all about water-proof, since i spend a lot of time as a fly fisherman on or near water. Photojojo always has cool stuff for cameras and photo geeks like me. Here’s a cool way to take those underwater fish pics on the beach, flat or in a river. Check out the video and online info from our friends at Photojojo. I haven’t personally tried these two products but I have purchased other stuff from them and I was happy with their service and products. I am thinking seriously about this case… Click here!
They also just came out with a small water-proof camera duffle for your SLRs! Click here!

wow…
image and original painting courtesy of Galen Mercer.
‘A Permit Flat, Key West’
Oil on Canvas
30″ x 36″
2014
“A painting I worked on for months after returning from the Keys. It conveys several favorite qualities of that experience; the shifting colors and light on the ocean floor and the tenuous appearance of fish on the periphery of detection. The school of permit, entering at top right, exists only as a glinting mass rather than individuals. Gil Drake, one of the real legends of Keys fishing, said sometimes all you can make out of permit at a distance is the flashing pink of their lips. I wanted to suggest what an active cosmos a saltwater flat is, hence the bull shark sweeping lazily past at lower right.” – Galen Mercer
