Don Carpenter from Lubbock is on CBS Early Show this morning talking about his underwater photography. Is he a member here?

I have met Don and talked with him a good bit. Did not know he was going to be on National though.

Here is his flickr if you are interested:

welcome Don, how did you get Sharks in Lubbock?

[eurisko]

Everyone likes to give me a hard time about this. :) The only sharks I know of in Lubbock are found in aquariums. I travel all over the world for my underwater photography. Pelagics (big fish) are rare to have encounters with so I have to go where they are.

Welcome to the forum Don!

Your expertise and experience will be a welcome addition here.

You must have never worked for the sharks at the Avalanche-Journal. I was glad to get out unbitten!
