Note cards are here. This past week I have put together a piece of the Tomanek Collection underwater pictures “Life Below Sea Level” and a few pictures from above sea level.
These underwater Note Cards are one of a kind. Showing what life really looks like below sea level. Unlike your everyday note cards these are unique underwater pictures of Fish, Corals, Sponges and boat wrecks.
NOTE CARD: is printed on A-2 glossy card (5.5W x 4.25H) when folded and comes with envelope. These cards are selling for $3 each. If you would like to purchase more than 5, please let me know.
The underwater note cards can be purchased by visiting http://underwaternotecards.com/ then look for the link to NOTE CARDS found near the bottom of the page. I hope you like the Tomanek Collection and please pass my link on to all your friends.

Funny thing is I am not sure why I am spending my time posting to my blog, there is no one following it. I spent the majority of the day recreating my TomanekCollection.com web site. There was a few issues that I noticed in the past. Some computers could view all the images on the web site while others would only see a few pictures. I hope this has been resolved.
Now this brings to to the title of this article, Buy Local, Buy Art Give Art. The remainder of my day was spent coming up with my master plan on what to sell on line, how to produce it, and how to distribute it. So you can visit my store by going to downunderphotos.info If you buy a picture from me (Buy Local) you can give it to someone (Spouse keeps it in your home/Friend you will have to visit to see the picture) but that would fill the Buy Art Give Art part.
Tomanek Collection now on display.
My collection of underwater pictures are now on display at the Skylight Studios and Great Graphics in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Thanks to Great Graphics for cutting the frames and showing me how to assemble them. Also they did a great job of printing my pictures. They have three pictures on display.
Thanks to Skylight Studios for allowing me to display my pictures in their studio. They have several pictures on display.
Artist Statement
I am a SCUBA diver and love to capture time through the lens of a camera. A time in life, that will never be the same again. As a diver I have found a new world to capture. And I would like to share with you, some scenes captured from this underwater world. At depths between 10 and 108 feet below sea level.
Some of my images may look like plants, because they do not have fins nor swim around. These corals that come in many shapes, colors and sizes are part of the Animal Kingdom. They reproduce, they live and they die. And when certain species die, they contribute to the growth of the reef. The fish turn tail and run. Only a few will stay for that perfect shot. And the sharks, they are not camera shy.
When diving, I will take my camera with me. I do not use a flash or any other artificial light when taking my day time pictures. These pictures are taken under natural light. But I do make an adjustment of the white balance using a white board as I change my depth.
