Description
The diving dog photo only exists because the "photo gods" wanted it to... I was in full scuba sitting at the bottom of the pool with an underwater camera. Underwater cameras do not have motor drives and have to be pre-focused, plus i was trying to peer through the view finder pressed up to the foggy goggles. I couldn't see outside the pool so I had no idea when or where the dog was going to jump in... if you didn't notice the dogs tail is out of the water and it's hind leg is just breaking the surface... if i hit the shutter release a nanosecond earlier or later the shot would have been ruined. I actually shot the photograph with black and white infrared film. Made black and white prints in the darkroom. Used blue and sepia toners for the water and the dog. I was also using a red filter... that is why the photos don't have the milky
underwater feeling...
