i'm in no way upset by this, but for future reference, this is probably the least
complementary thing you can say to a photographer. us artsy types like to think we had more to do with it than the equipment!
truthfully, i have just not been doing much with the reef lately. i have cut down my number of tanks from 3 to 1. i still enjoy it, and it's beautiful, but it's full and healthy and not requiring much input from me at this point. also, the photography has taken a life of it's own and is getting a lot of my attention.
Yep, these photos are awesome, I've seen a great many bad photos taken with superior equipment, and seen awesome photos taken with disposable cameras. It's the person behind the cam that's important.
