About Christopher Julius Miller

                          I am Christopher Julius Miller the Anti Artist. I am not anti art. I love art. I am the antithesis of the stereotypical artist. My path to art and photography was not a direct one. I am a graduate from the College of Oceaneering. I studied commercial air and mixed gas diving as well as underwater welding and burning. I earned an Associates Degree in Marine Science. While working as a deep sea diver, I began documenting my work with photography. I discovered that I had a hidden passion and an eye for composition. I really enjoyed underwater photography and felt it was something that I wanted to do as a career. To better understand and improve my new skills I enrolled in art classes at the local community college. Working and photographing in a difficult and monochromatic world prepared me and made it easy when I  transition to terrestrial photography using black and white film. My award winning work is not just limited to photography. I also am an accomplished and award winning painter and received the same recognition for my work in mixed media. All this is not the result of talent. I have no talent. I only have passion.
