It’s been months of training and asking a million questions. This last week it has really all started to come together at a breakneck pace. And in what seems like the blink of an eye I’m leaving FL
For those I haven’t talked to (sorry) earlier this year I left CA and started working at @towboatusnaplesandmarcoisland with the goal of eventually opening up my own port.
It’s been an adventure the last few months with a few hurricanes in the mix but Im finally finished building and ready to go start my port and new life journey with my wife @veronicaaa.rose_ in ID.❤️
I am forever indebted to @scubafish714 & @dillmantodd for taking the chance and making this all possible. Excited to see you guys and the nieces soon!
Thank you @nelly_bass20 & @captain_hunterbaird205 for all the all help building and training. It was a blast working alongside you guys.
I’ll be on the road for the next week or so!
The past few days I’ve spent more time in the ocean at night then in the day, I’m starting to feel like I may have a slight thalassophobia, but then I remind my self anyone would be uneasy swimming in the deep blue only lit by the moon.

Slow shutters and first curtain flash.
Gives me the crispiness and insane detail but also a smooth long exposure effect all in one go. I have been toying with these for a while but the keeper rate is less than 1% One of my favorites as of recent.

Life update, on February 29th, Veronica and I finally tied the knot. After planning a big wedding 2 years ago that was halted due to covid, we decided it would be best to carry on with a small elopement. I’m glad to finally have my other half, and for our next chapter to begin❤️
Thank you @_gynger_ for capturing the day!
Water has been to cold for me recently 🫣 but I need to suck it up and start getting back out there

Early mornings and late evenings, the lighting is always the best, and the colors are softest. Most mornings when I shoot flash I am out there at 4 am and leaving when the sun finally breaks the horizon (often not sleeping from the night before because I’m so excited to get out there) the first slide was a frosty morning with beautiful pastels in the sky #glaserxmatuse
