Anne Levine Doubilet. Artist. Underwater photographer. Explorer. Writer. Mother. Friend.
Her book, Geo Graphic: Personal Stories and Reflections from My Water World, recounts the challenges and rewards of traveling the world as a National Geographic Magazine diving expedition team member in the 1970s, '80s, and '90s. A time of pre-digital photographing with travel to faraway places like the Galápagos Islands, Micronesia, the Red Sea and Papua New Guinea that few had explored. Fraught with difficulties these expeditions were also wildly exciting as captured in Anne's journal entries sprinkled through-out the book. She places the reader in the moment. Anne is an expert in taking things in stride, literally. She had to relearn how to walk after being critically injured in a motorcycle accident at age 19. She survived a sudden illness as a child that left her paralyzed with slurred speech for nearly a year. These remarkable recoveries are testimony to her indomitable spirit and zest for life. And a love for the underwater world where the ocean set her free. Some of her favorite reflections include exploring Madagascar and Panama with her daughter, and documenting both ends of the earth, Antarctica and the Arctic, each ground zero for climate change.
From the Forewords ...
Some people illuminate every place they enter with curiosity and joy. Anne Levine Doubilet is one of those rare individuals. This marvelous book is a journey alongside her, witnessing the ocean's beauty through her unique lens-finding artistry in nature, humor in ocean adventure, and joy in friendships shaped by shared saltwater adventures.

Anne says, I have morphed from just an Ocean Lover to an Ocean Activist. Her engagement in dozens of National Geographic expeditions and magazine articles convey insights and affection for life in the sea that continues with eloquence and hope in this volume.
