heather underwater









mark loaned me his underwater casing and boy do I wish I had a photo of the casing! it looked like something suited for spaceships in the 1950's. it was amazing. we headed out into waimea bay and I learned that underwater photography would be much easier if the water wasn't moving. being hit by waves and pointing the space age camera contraption in any direction gave some interesting results. heather was a great sport and as I proceeded to slowly drown her. I love her red hair against the green of the water. wowzas!

I should really buy a underwater casing since I live in beach land. would anybody be up for a underwater shoot? if so email me at rachel@rachelthurston.com

Yes. Count me in for an underwater shoot. But in warm water... like Hawaii or Costa Rica. ;)

This is such a unique and challenging idea! I love the way these images look. Kudos. The last image reminds me of the book "Awakening" I read in highschool English class. I love it!
