Thru My Lens
Hi Everyone,
For those of you who might need an introduction, my name is Jeff Rochon. I am an undergraduate student at Point Loma Nazarene University, in San Diego California. I developed this site when I was accepted to the study abroad program known as Semester At Sea to keep my family and friends informed as to my travels and experiences as I spent 110 days with 600 students, 80 Lifelong Learners, and 50 Faculty/Staff sailing around the world on a "Floating Campus" known as the M.V. Explorer. This unique program presented us with an opportunity traditional study abroad programs can't, the opportunity to experience more than one culture.

Equipment
I have two cameras I use to shoot my photos. The first is my trusty Canon Digital Rebel. I have two lenses for it, a typical 18-35mm lens, and a 75-200mm zoom lens. I also have an external flash for the Cannon. I have had it now for a couple of years and love its capabilities.
As long as I have been taking pictures, I have wanted to be able to take underwater photos. For Christmas 2009, I received a camera that I feel comfortable taking near/in water and on adventure hikes, an Olympus Stylus Tough 8000. While it is a "point and shoot" it has proven that with 12megapixels it can capture great pictures.
With the combination of the two cameras, I should be able to document my journeys quite well.
