The celebrated underwater photographer and artistic inspiration for a whole generation, Ernie Brooks, sadly passed away last night. Alex and Adam share some thoughts about him and his images and celebrate the stunning body of work that he produced over a lifetime of photographing “The Silver Sea.” The Wetpixel community’s thoughts go out to his family and friends at what must be a terribly difficult time. The underwater imaging community has lost one of its shining stars.
