My Underwater Photo Journey

Cathy Church’s how-to books and the numerous articles she’s pub-lished in SkinDiver over the years, along with her renowned underwater photo centre at Sunset House on Grand Cayman, have secured her place as a teacher of U/W photogra-phy. But her new large-format, hardbound book, MyUnderwaterPhotoJourney, exhibits Cathy Church the photographic artist. It’s a beautiful display of the U/W world as seen through her experienced eye. While the beauty of the photos is reason enough to put this book on your coffee table, there’s a bonus: an online site that allows you to access additional commentary and photo tips, making the book an excellent work of art that also instructs. Unfortunately, Hurricane Ivan seems to have set back the addition of some of the online information, so the web material is a work in process. Log on to Undercurrent to check out this and other dive-related books. All profits from our book sales go to protect the underwater realm. 145 pages and 144 plates, including some excellent black and white photos, $39.95.
