Resume

Yachtsman "The Ocean is My Office..."

--Member of Captain Francis' Log fraternity of instructors

Some of the vessels I have worked with:

Diver "A Whole New World"

Photographer "The World is My Studio..."

I used a XG-1 with lenses (35-135mm f5.8, 52mm f1.8), but that got stolen. Then I got a Pentax Super-A with Cosina lenses (35-200mm f5.8, 28-70mm f4, 50mm f1.2), but that got irreversible saltwater corrosion. Then I used an Olympus Weatherproof compact with 35-70mm for a long while. Finally, I used a Mavica MVC-FD71 Digital Still during my last trip to the U.S. and Nicaragua. It was a good tool, and I sent many images via email to my friends.   But unfortunately, the camera was also stolen from inside my back-pack inside our locked vehicle.

Now I have a MVC-FD73.  This model looks similar to the MVC-FD71, but is much improved--the exposure probems have been resolved so that I rarely have to use the manual 1/2 f-stop adjustments.  The minimum light requirements and color saturation is also improved. 

I've burned most film doing:
