I've re-pointed the OpicalOcean.com url to here as the blog will now be the central point of my focus and link to trip reports, photo galleries, slide shows and the like. It will also help search engines find it and be easier to remember.

I've had that url pointing to my .Mac gallery for many years, picking up over 10,500 hits. Most of what's on there are older galleries and film work. I will probably be reorganizing it, reformatting some of the material and eliminating some junk. But it's not going away. There's a link to it and the longer Trip Reports to the right, or see Older Optical Ocean Web Gallery.

My most current photo work will be on Flickr. I have also already moved some of the best of what's on the .Mac site to Flickr.

For right now, I will continue to have Blogger host the blog and the url (http://opticalocean.blogspot.com/) will remain the same, but in the future I may have the blog hosted elsewhere, so you'd be best to change url links to here to http://OpticalOcean.com.

What's upcoming? Reports from my 13 day dive trip to North Sulawesi, two upcoming trips to dive in California (in Aug. and Dec.), a trip up to the Gulf Islands in British Columbia in October, a return trip to the Truk Odyssey, Seattle Aquarium dives, sailing trip reports and tips, photo tips, as well as lots of local reports and photos.
