A rock star to underwater photographers, Anilao shootout judge David Doubilet reveals a life made peaceful by diving and shaped early in a lake in upstate New York when he was an asthmatic boy of eight. National Geographic photographer David Doubilet waited 40 years to shoot his dream picture: a clownfish. A male clownfish that was aerating its eggs just before they hatched in the waters of Anilao, Batangas. That was eight years ago and it almost didn’t happen. David was literally on the way to the airport with his wife Jennifer Hayes, a marine biologist, when photographer Gutsy Tuason called him up and told him he was going to Anilao.
