RIP Chuck Nicklin
It is with great regret that I have to inform the Wetpixel community that another of the great image making pioneers has drifted off into the great blue. Chuck Nicklin died peacefully in his sleep earlier today. Chuck was a pioneer diver, photographer, and cinematographer. He will be sorely missed by the image making community and our love goes out to his family and many friends.
