Experience the underwater artistry of photographer, videographer, environmental conservationist and Aquarium blog contributor, Keith Ellenbogen. This beautiful and unique exhibit is being put on by Boston Harbor Cruises aboard the vessel Regency, docked at Long Wharf. Ellenbogen’s unique photos focus on the elaborate hues, patterns, shapes, and textures found beneath the water line of our blue planet. He hopes the natural beauty that he has captured in these works will inspire positive change and action toward protecting the environment.

There will be a special presentation by the artist at 2:00 p.m. when Ellenbogen will bring out some of his equipment to demonstrate what is unique about this kind of photography and how he gets these images.
