Article Summary:

Happy holidays, from the Wetpixel staff!  Over the past calendar year, we saw hundreds of amazing images flow through the forums, check out the current best of 2008 thread, the Picture of the Week contest, and the annual Wetpixel / DivePhotoGuide photo / video contests (OWU and DEEP). 

At the DEMA show, we hosted the largest happy hour yet, packing over 100 raucous people into a suite at the Hilton, much the chagrin of the hotel’s security. We also provided detailed and almost live coverage of all the underwater imagine related products.

As always, Wetpixel members have starred across the diving world, winning numerous awards and also featured in all sorts of media, including well-known magazines, books, and television shows.

And finally,Wetpixel Quarterly, our new print magazine featuring the best in underwater photography goes from strength to strength. Issue 5 of the acclaimed magazine, should be out soon.

Eric is currently on assignment in Antarctica, missing some home comforts, and has this message “Someone please eat some ice cream for me.”

Wetpixel would be nothing without its talented, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and generous members. Thank you for your support. Have a great holiday and Good Shooting in 2009.
