Here are four shots from an old photo file from last year, catching glimpses of a free dive off Pacific Grove, CA. These aren't the best nor most dramatic shots from the day--or I'd have posted them already--but they are true shots, expressive moments spent underwater or at the surface. I like to dig into past files, and not just into my blog here, for the flavors of the day, the dive, in all its variety. Sometimes, a shot that seemed overly-mundane will hit me differently now or will connect me with the dive (or the act of diving) itself.
I think I've posted the wave-shot taken just after this one in "A Favorite View," for that shot caught a bit more drama as the approaching wave crest--as seen here, forward, upwards, and leaning to the right--but this shot is also just as true. I like the texture and malleability of water in the shape of waves and wavelets, boils, ripples, counter-crests, and all else as they form on those waves. Pindar said, "Water is best."
P.S. I really need to go diving. It's been too long.
