Thanks Linedog for the question. Mainly I'm looking for footage of bridge parts that are still where they fell. Around the turn of the century, before the newest bridge was under construction, I spoke with a guy who was filming there, but I've since forgotten his name. I just did some googling, and ...

I'm doing a series of presentations like the one shown in the attached poster. The topic is the interconnectedness of our local ecosystem, including our human impact. I'm illustrating the topic with some underwater and above-water video from my archives as well as video and photos from other sources...

I’ll be conducting a workshop at a teachers' conference with a mockup of a mobile field guide I'm working on. This will be the kind of field guide that paper can't produce, a guide that will show you behavior of creatures (video), interactions between creatures instead of a separate page for each on...

Fordman, I don't need them to sell one to me. The forward-thinking camera housing manufacturer (if there were one) can order customized versions from them. Dusty, true, but a lot can be done without radio waves underwater. I certainly wouldn't mind having a touchscreen monitor/controller tethered to...

Here's one example of an underwater tablet housing that offers full functionality

I've been shopping around for an underwater housing for my new DSLR that replaces the video cameras I used since the turn of the century. There are many amazing choices out there, but I haven't found what I'm really looking for, so I'm tossing this out to see if anyone has any ideas. The biggest obs...

Janna,
if your camera ever breaks let me know. I have a G9 that I hardly ever use, and I might be talked into parting with it.

I'll be doing a workshop at the Dive Expo in Tacoma on Sunday April 21 at 1:00 p.m. A feared benthic predator, the Sunflower Star creeps along the bottom. Those creatures who can, scatter. The long legs of the sea star crawl over the top of a slow moving keyhole limpet and flip it over. Just as thin...

I found a shot of urchins, but I'd prefer a good shot of urchins and bull kelp together. I'm about to wrap this project up, but if you get something good this weekend let me know and I'll squeeze it in. Thanks for taking an interest in this.

Here's the web site for my TV series that features lots of underwater video and photos, some by some of the people who responded above. Note that the series is available free as podcasts via iTunes or on blip.tv http://SEA-Inside.org My nonprofit has also created a web portal to Northwest waters rel...

Not looking for herring roe footage any more!

I'm looking for footage of urchins eating (or adjacent to) bull kelp in the Salish Sea (Puget Sound or the Strait of Juan de Fuca or Strait of Georgia). This is for a short film about bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) restoration in Port Gamble, WA. The restoration is a nonprofit project and the fil...

You're right, that is a USVH housing. It worked well for me, but now it's obsolete. I need to upgrade to an HD system of some sort...I'm leaning toward a next generation DSLR.

SEMINAR TITLE: "Improving the Health of Puget Sound by Improving your Underwater Images: Telling Stories that Matter" TIME/DATE: Same workshop offered on both days: April 21 and 22 from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. LOCATION: Tacoma Dive and Travel Expo, Tacoma Convention Center http://www.divenewsnetw...

I'll be presenting a "video tour" of the invisible parts of our Puget Sound shorelines at 4 north Sound venues in April. These will include lots of underwater video and other things you can't normally see. Attached is a flyer for the Whidbey event. FREE April 16, 5:30 p.m. Whidbey Island: ...

I wish I could say that I'll be up there this March...but in lieu of that, do you know anyone who's filmed it?

I'm producing a short film about bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) restoration in Port Gamble, WA. The restoration is a nonprofit project and the film is to assist with raising awareness about the issues and solutions, including showing people how much fun it is to get involved as volunteers. I'd pr...

Learn how to grow shellfish in your backyard, create salmon habitat, and plant native plants in your garden. These are some of the water topics featured at a two-day event called “Water Courses – Connecting West Sound.” With over 36 speakers, this symposium is one of the largest educational events h...

Here is David Gordon's email in case you want to contact him via email about a submission:

Entries are sought for the Salish Sea Ecosystem Film Festival, to be held in conjunction with the Salish Sea Ecosystem Conference, on October 25, 2011, from 9:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at the Sheraton Wall Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Thanks for all the comments. I'm glad some people saw it! Most of the footage was from my movie "Return of the Plankton" which was released in 2005 (available on Amazon). The rest was miscellaneous bits and pieces I filmed since, except for the movie "The Secret Weapon" by Champ ...

:popcorn: Watch for me Monday evening on the PBS station KBTC (available in most of Puget Sound region). They did a half-hour episode about my underwater video work. It's called " The World Below " and I'm told it will air at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Nov 1 . But double check your local listing Mo...

This thing was maybe only 1/4 inch in diameter, but loooong! How long? It stretched from Edmonds to Des Moines. Well, not really, but for this skinny little guy 24 inches or so seemed like forever.

Janna, thanks for the plug. Dashrynn, Jan Kocian has allowed me to use some of his work in my TV series, "SEA-Inside: Pacific Northwest." I will be showing some excerpts from the TV series in the upcoming presentations, as well as some previously unaired footage. But you can bet there will...

As we walk along the shoreline, we are surrounded by things we can't see. They are hidden below the surface of the water, beneath rocks, they are too small to see, or maybe they are processes that are too slow for us to see. But their presence is a key part of our environment. Join underwater videog...
