Howard Hall and Michele Hall

I didn’t meet Ernie until late in life, but his adventures in theinspired dreams I pursued, since I first picked up a Nikonos camera and began visualising underwater images. Eventually I did have a chance to meet Ernie, spend some time with this gentleman, and even had a chance to dive with him. For those wonderful moments, I will always be grateful. During those quiet times when I find myself alone deep in cold temperate waters, I often imagine the faces of absent friends among the amorphous shadows at the edge of visibility. This morning, I believe I saw Ernie among them. His life was well lived, and his voice will be missed.
