Welcome to the Steemit Community. Great idea to raise awareness. These are some of the most beautiful photos I have seen in a long time. I'm following to keep up with what you have going on.

I appreciate your encouraging words @art-mess. Thank you :) I'll be following you as well now.

Love you for your work. Great job keep doing it.

Thanks! Stoked to be here :)

Amazing work!! Such a beautiful way to combat environmental issues. looking forward to seeing your posts!

I believe this creative stream holds intrinsic value; it contains our unique offerings we can gift to the world. This is why I love the idea of Steemit rewarding content creators and empowering artists.

Exactly! I often talk about this with other artists as well. Creative work is underestimated way too often.

Thank you @woodzi! I look forward to seeing your stuff too and yes, Steemit is one of the first platforms to truly usher us closer to an age where the starving artist model is obselete (or so I hope!)

This is so great Christine! I think you did a great job on the introduction! Personally, because this site is more community focused I would have put all the accolades more towards the bottom and focused more on your personality and persona in the top but this is great!!

Love it <3 :)

Happy to see you here!

Thanks for the feedback Ben! I appreciate it, and totally see your point. I'm glad for your tip-off regarding Steemit and hope you can successfully migrate your fan base over here. Cheers!

Wow, thanks so much! I'm not sure I'm superhero status just yet, hah, but a gal can try :) :)

Wow @underwaterwoman. I saw your comment on my 'Scuba Scribe Review: Jago - A Life Underwater' post and moseyed on over to see, who is this 'underwaterwoman'? I love love love what you are doing! What you do, highlighting marine conservation issues is a subject extremely close to my heart as well. I die a little inside when I think about the children of tomorrow not being able to see the wonders of a coral reef because of bleaching, or even just go swimming in open water rivers, lakes or seas because of pollution.

I can't remember the last time I went scuba diving and didn't come back with my BCD's pockets full of plastic. I haven't been able to get out diving in just over 10 months now and I'm trying to make up for it by writing my scuba scribe poems, articles etc on steemit 😉 but it's just not the same without the rocking ache of the ocean swell to well up the poetic words, well maybe I can still get some tidal rhymes flowing. I would love to do a steemit collaboration with you if you wanted? Maybe we could respond to some of your photography with poetry, in some way? Like choose an ocean creature each, and try to frame a conversation issues through imagery linked to the creature. A verse a piece, just an idea, maybe you have some yourself? Anyway, I will drop a link to one of my better ocean related poems below so you can see what they're like. This is a poem I wrote, trying to imagine the journey of the whale shark from its perspective. I'm not sure how successful it was in that regard but I think it is a good effort:

I'm thrilled to see your note here. Thanks for taking the time to write out all your thoughts and well wishes. I think all of the scuba diving community is particular close to the loses we're experiencing in the oceans, but the more we can bring back images and spreaad messages of what we are seeing, the more hearts and minds we can hopefully change in time. Keep it up and stay in touch!

Simply amazing! What can't you do 😄 Your work is stunningly beautiful and amazing! I am very much looking forward to see your next projects! 😀

I'm so glad my work resonated with you! Truly, I'm just average or a bit above in a bunch of areas that when you smash together makes something shiny :P Thanks for the encouragement! It's comments like these that keep me going when I wonder whether what I do is important. Cheers
