I will very soon be offering my images for sale on imagekind: bluewavechris.imagekind.com/

If you like my photos and would like to use them in some way, please contact me and we can work something out, don't just grab them off this site.
In my photo stream there are photos taken with a variety of Canon cameras: the SD110 (3.2mp), S500 (5mp), SD550 (7.1mp) and now my primary camera is the G7 (10mp). I used or currently use the Canon dedicated UW housings for each of these cameras (You can read my reviews of the housings on Amazon.com.) I have recently been carrying an Olympus 1050SW as my "pocket camera", with good results. To add to my underwater capable cameras, I have new Canon D10 as well.....I bought it hoping to have something a little smaller for more casual water shots. I have been impressed with it's results so far.
Update: July 2009
I have finally made my commitment in the DSLR market....and I am going with Canon (despite being a long time user of Nikon manual focus 35mm SLRs in the 80's & 90's).
My new Canon D500/T1i has arrived and I will begin shooting with it shortly. My shots will be land based until I can afford a housing for this camera. With a little luck, I should be able to pick one up by the end of the summer !
