As most of you know, we both love underwater photography as much as we love diving. For a while now Brandi has been encouraging Steve to enter some of his photos in underwater photography contests. Just recently he submitted a few to NOAA’s National Marine Sanctuaries “2016 Get Into Your Sanctuary” photo contest.  We were notified that his image “Mermaid on the Vandenberg” was selected as the second place winner in the “Sanctuary Portraits” category. You can see the winning photos on their website here, and yes, the mermaid is me. Steve’s category is at the bottom of the page.  The picture is titled “Mermaid on the Vandenberg”.
