About the Book
Visiting underwater can be full of anxiety, apprehension, caution, and fear. But just like Mary Shelly wrote about in her most wonderful book "Frankenstein" concerning the nice person who was reawaken by electricity, I found out it's all about rash judgement. The undersea living world is not a chaos but a very organized structure of plants and animals all living together within their own little space. And they are not the monsters out to destroy everything in their path but just trying to survive in this water environment. Also, beyond that I have realized these creatures are more then just "fish" with the ability to reason, understand, and be curious making me believe they are just like any other animal on this planet. I have gone more into depth on these matters in my book.

Learning black and white photo processing in Junior High School, it always stuck with me. Later, being suddenly and overwhelming introduced into the wonderful world of photographic art, upon a visit to the Ansel Adams Galley in Yosemite Valley, I set off on a journey I have tried to describe in my first personnel photo book. Having delved into the art from around 1977 it has rewarded me with much satisfaction and later on, with the help of Ansel's Zone System, much fun. It is as if your creativeness bubbles over and goes on without measure. I have, without question, chosen the "Yosemite Portfolio" as my first (essay). The many years and seasons I spent visiting the National Park left me with a love and respect for it which still goes on to today. For me It is a land of endless photographic possibility and unconsciously draws me back year after year. The first of 3 or 4 I hope you enjoy it. R.F.
