Stillness keeps us one
with nature...earth and water

I have always been fascinated by the beauty of life under the sea. So I've been thinking of doing underwater photo shoot...unfortunately its not easy as it seems. There are lot of things that needs to be prepared before you can do such an adventure shooting. You need to buy an underwater camera, have a diving lesson, etc..

I can't wait... so there we go... went into an alternative underwater photo shoots - no new lenses, no more deep sea diving, not even a water suit...these pictures are taken from the Manila Ocean Park (Philippines) during a family tour.

Here the subjects are willing to be pictured and it seemed they already know how to pose...the only constraints are lighting problems and shadows because of the aquarium glass glare.

The messages and wisdom that I have seen in these pictures are lessons of life...please enjoy as you go through these pictures.

The force that keeps the balance of the
universe can be seen even with the colors
that life itself manifest.

Some are simply open and
some are massively protected

We are all here for a purpose

The circle for life...

Seeing life upside down?...you may say
as you look but it sees the world as you do

would it make a difference if they have known that they are being called the dancing fairies of the sea? Knowing it or not they just dance as gaily as they are for life is what you make it...
