"Water Colors"

from Dann at Home

This incredible "coffee table book"----12x12---can be signed and even personalized by Michael S Maurer.

From a vantage point of less than 6 inches---Mickey concentrates his photography of the underwater world to the smallest reef creatures. I have known Mickey "since diapers" and am very pleased to call him a lifelong friend and to offer you this wonderful book. Makes a great gift....and we can ship this wherever you need it to go with a note enclosed from you. Mickey can sign it and will personalize it, if you wish.

"In the middle of the bay, the boy helped us don fins, masks, weight belts and tanks-----no instructions, no safety equipment. Just jump in and breathe. That's exactly what Doug did, leaving Janie and me on the boat laughing at each other and wondering what to do. We slipped over the side and held onto the boat. Cautiously, I lowered my face into the water and was awed by by the panorama of activity. Without a further thought, I let go of the boat and drifted downward and easily along the light current, completely lost to the world above.

I was enthralled."

Mickey Maurer on the First Dive

"Mickey Maurer" is neither a professional diver nor a professional photographer. He is an entrepreneur from Indianapolis (with a very long list of involvement's and accomplishments !) where he lives with his wife Janie. They have three children and eight grandchildren. In addition to underwater photography, Mickey enjoys woodworking and mountain climbing; he successfully summited Mount Kilimanjaro. His travels to dive have taken him around the world including the Galapagos Islands, New Guinea, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Belize and Bonaire.

Mickey served as Indiana Secretary of Commerce under Governor Mitch Daniels. The Indiana University School of Law has recently been renamed the Maurer School of Law in his honor. Among many other accomplishments, he is chairman of the board of IBJ Corp.; owner and publisher of the Indianapolis Business Journal, Court and Commercial Record and Indiana Lawyer; and chairman of the board for The National Bank of Indianapolis, which he co-founded in 1993. He is a regular columnist for the Indianapolis Business Journal and the host of "Mickey's Corner", a televised Emmy Award winning interview talk show. And ...not a surprise...he is on the "Wall of Fame" of his alma mater North Central High School in Indianapolis.
