Travels with Craig from 2006-2011 Right now, this page covers a lot (!) of travel I did with my late wife Connie from 2006 to 2011. I still haven't caught up with the travel shots from 2011 to present, but I entend to add them in here.	Before and After - How I process my images I have often wanted to show people that my dive pictures simply do not come out of the camera the way everyone see them. In fact I post- process nearly 100% of my images, whether taken above or below water. But I process underwater images the most. Here are examples of what they look like out of camera, and again after I've edited them in Adobe Lightroom.
Diving in Roatan - 2019, part 1 I decided not to wait until September to go to Roatan again, partly because Grace really needed a little vacation. Being a non-diver I was worried Grace would get bored at the Reef House, but she found plenty to do and loved it! This is part 1 because part 2 will happen in September	Above Water around the Reef House Resort in Roatan - 2019 Most of my time in Roatan is spend getting ready to dive, diving or recovering from diving and processing images.

These images will show you a little bit of what it's like to walk around in the Sonoran desert. They were taken as far back as 2008. Some scenery, some flowers, some wildlife, and a lot of cactus...

Diving in Maui Kula Botanical Gardens Haleakala The Road to Hana and Beyond Iao Valley Other Maui Photographs	Diving in Jamaica - 2018 In June 2018, Grace and I visited a resort in Negril Jamaica. They offered free diving each day, so I went on 12 dives. Though all the dives were very short (20 or 35-minute bottom times), I got a few decent pics. Used my Nikon D180 mostly, but one day I used my backup Sony RX100 for a few different shots.
Renaissance Festival 2018 Once again I went to the Renaissance Festival with some friends.	Whirlwind North Dakota Trip My daughter Emily and I had only 5 days to try to drive to North Dakota in April, 2017. For me, it was the only US state I'd never visited. For Emily, it was a chance to visit several National Parks and strike them off her bucket list.	Diving in Roatan - 2017 In 2017 I returned to the Reef House Resort, Oak Ridge, Roatan (Honduras), this time for two weeks. I went alone and concentrated on underwater photography, although I also took a short boat ride through the mangrove swamp. I got in 37 dives, and have lots of images to show for it.

The Life of Connie Slide Show Clicking on this link will start a download of a windows-executable file that you should be able to run as-is. This file is the slide show Craig created and played at Connie's Celebration of Life. It was an attempt to make a video slide show about Connie's life. Mostly it ended up being shots of our time together, since almost all of the photos I had were taken since I met Connie in January, 2006. I specifically chose pictures showing her happy times and loves. As you can see, she had a truly wonderful life. NOTE: This file is 160 MB size, so be patient when downloading it!

Special note: My beloved wife Connie died of complications (from treating) pancreatic cancer on January 22, 2017. She is, and will always be, sorely missed. All of the images below this section were taken while we were together, and many of those images are from her camera. Connie was an excellent photographer, and I learned a lot from her. This picture was taken in Oslo, Norway, on our last trip together in September 2016. You can see a lot of the places Connie and I traveled from 2006 to 2016 here.

Connie's Celebration of Life Video Before Connie died she made it very clear she did not want a funeral, she wanted a celebration. She did not want the sad grieving scene of relatives crying over a body and feeling sad like when here parents died. With that directive in mind, her sister Laurie, her fried Michelle and I worked to make it. And it turned out fabulously. I think Connie would have said of complications (from treating) pancreatic cancer on January 22, 2017. She is, and will always be, sorely missed. All of the images below were taken while we were together, and many of those images are from her camera. Connie was an excellent photographer, and I learned a lot from her. NOTE: This video file is 5.3 GB (gigabyte!) in size, and it will take some time downloading.

Thanksgiving 2016 Each year Connie and I hosted friends and family for Thanksgiving. Connie cooked and I set up umbrellas, strobes and a backdrop for formal pictures. This was the last Thanksgiving for Connie as she died 3 months later.	Our Last Vacation - Baltics Cruise 2016 UNDER CONSTRUCTION - The last trip Connie and I took together was a cruise in the Baltics. We started in Copenhagen, then cruised to Norway (Olso), Germany (Berlin), Estonia (Riga), Russia (St. Petersburg), Finland (Helsinki) and Sweden (Stockholm). We had a wonderful time, suspecting all along that Connie's days were numbered as her pancreatic cancer had come back.	Bucket list trip to China, 2016 After a couple of years of cancelling the trip for health reasons, we FINALLY got to visit China. And we had a wonderful trip!

Mostly we relaxed with friends, but we did go on a whale watch trip and take some drives down the coast	Oak Ridge Area, Roatan, 2014 I went to Roatan for a week of diving with a friend of mine. Didn't spend any time seeing the island, because I was there to dive every day, but I did take some shots of the Oak Ridge area where the Reef House Resort is located.	Diving in Roatan. Moray eel gets a bit too close for comfort! I went diving in Roatan with my buddy Steve Hope from Sep 27 to Oct 3, 2014. We returned to the Reef House Resort where we had been diving in 2008.

Diving in Fiji - 2009 February 2009 - This is a web show (images and movies) made into a slide show with music. It's pretty big, as these sorts of things have to be, at 100MB+.

(It should start playing without having to download the entire show, but it's still a lot of bytes.) If you don't have the Photodex viewer installed, it should prompt you and then install it automatically to your browser.
