Our World-Underwater

February 15 -17, 2008

Another great year at Our World! The film festival blew me away this year. I couldn't imagine handfeeding a 15ft tiger shark or diving with an elephant. These two things are definately on my list of goals for when I become a marine biologist. The reason I enjoy coming to the show every year is I love being able to share my passion with other people who love the dive world as well. I learn so much about different diving places and experiences. Their stories and advice help keep me interested and motivated. Our World motivated another area of my life this year. While working tshirt sales, I was able to watch an artist paint a magnificent whale shark. It was amazing. I have never watched someone paint a huge painting from scratch before. Ever since I started getting so busy, I pretty much gave up on art. I used to love combining my love for the ocean and art. I really enjoyed it a few years ago, and I have decided to get back into the swing of things and paint again. I had a wonderful time at OWU this year everyone's hard work definately paid off. I cannot wait for the show next year.

<3 always and forever
