“A Watery World…”
June 30, 2008 – Aug. 29, 2008

Dr. Adam Puche is a faculty member of the Department of Anatomy & Neurobiology at the University of Maryland. He has a long standing passion for the natural world and nature photography, including an exploration of underwater photography over the last 5 years. His scientific photography has appeared on the covers of seven international journals and his nature photography has been featured in several calendars and individual pieces in juried shows.

This show celebrates the 70% of the earth’s surface that is covered by water through photography of the dramatic coastlines and underwater inhabitants that make up this largely unexplored part of our planet. Photography around (and under) water is a challenging environment for any photographer and camera; especially in today’s era of digital photography…electronics and water don’t mix. The challenges and patience required for photographing the natural world adds to the reward when achieving that one photograph that captures the moment and essence of the photographic subject.
