Born in Austria, I am currently residing in Washington State. According to my wife I must have been a fish in my previous life since I have been fascinated by the marine world since I was a kid. Seven years ago I purchased my first waterproof camera and since that time I am hooked on underwater photography. I am currently using a Canon 5D in a home made housing with two Canon 550 EX flashes with a Canon 10D as a backup camera.
