second chances - a photo on Flickriver

second chances

This is from my underwater excursion with Christine who was here visiting for the weekend for our gallery exhibition which went really well, it was packed and we even met Dana Carvey.

This is shot completely underwater. I wanted to show a schoolgirl, dead, in death, drowned, drowning...seemingly alive, walking toward the camera, suspended underwater, floating toward us...

I like minimalist photos like this, I find that to me they are the most haunting. This is photo represents a huge fear for me, and I find it to be generally eerie.

And also, I am working on my next blog essay about the importance of having a photographic style, and I would love to hear any thoughts on the subject that you think I should consider while writing.
