I can remember my very first camera and just how much I adored it. It was a plastic Bugs Bunny themed 35mm camera that I took on a big family trip to Yellowstone. Since then I have always had a particular interest in environmental and nature photography. I am now in my first photography class and am so excited for the opportunity to improve on my photography skills.

For this photography course I will be using a 16mp Nikon Coolpix underwater camera. This camera can dive to depths of up to 59', so it allows me to capture parts of the underwater world that my graduate studies focus on. I hope to be able to utilize the photos taken in this class in conjunction with my masters level thesis project.
