Rhode Island
This is the only link on my homepage where you will see dead fish! [For all of the my other Scuba Photos links, you'll the "beauty beneath" -- photographed fully alive (!)]. The visibility in the North Atlantic areas off the coast of southern New England where I commonly dive is generally too poor for photography -- though good enough for spearfishing (!). I am 95% vegan -- and the main reason I'm not 100% is so that I can enjoy fresh fish that I spear between mid-April and early November. (The non-vegan "5%" also allows me to enjoy an occasional slice of pizza or dish of ice cream at family celebrations.)
