What I find
down there.
A small archive of underwater photographs from local shore dives, boat trips, and a couple of trips that paid for themselves in stories.
Field notes,
quietly written.
The marine biology side of things — research, blog posts, dispatches from coursework and curiosity.
And what's
shaped me down here.
Things you find when you've gone deep enough — recognitions, milestones, the slow accumulation of being shown up.

Thanks for going down there with me.
Most of what's worth knowing is hard to see from the surface. I'll keep going under and writing it back up. If you'd like to come along, you know where to find me.
