Joseph Thompson, Colorado Springs Member Since April 2011 Artist Statement I'm an avid reef aquarium enthusiast and basement marine biologist of sorts. The wonderous nature of the aquarium hobby has led me to develop many secondary skills by accident. One skill in particular has launched me into yet another second hobby, that of photography! I hope that through my photos I can show others the beauty that I enjoy each and every day viewing my salty friends.
