14 prints of my underwater images are being shown at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in the central reading room of the library (La Jolla, CA).   The Library is located about 600 meters from the spectacular Scripps Canyon dive site, and about 200 meters from the ever popular La Jolla Ecological Reserve. The show runs through December.

The show is made possible by Peter Brueggeman, Director of the Scripps Library.  Peter is an avid diver and a vintage bike collector.
