I was reading Michael Clark's "Storytelling" blog entry over at Nikon World and was reminded of the National Geographic editors' rule that "you haven't covered something if you haven't explored it from 360 degrees" as Michael puts it. This gave me the idea to do a photo project to practice those skills. If you'd like to play along and develop your own skills, pick any subject and explore it from front, back, left, right, top and bottom and all the angles in between.

I wrote about the Nikon AW100 around the beginning of the year but have just now had the chance to really use it underwater so here is an update.
We just returned from a peaceful vacation in the Caribbean. We stayed in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos, close to Grace Bay Beach. How close? It was about 3/10's of a mile walk from our front door to the water. Much less expensive than staying on the beach with no excuse for not getting in the ocean every day.
