    Looks like a perfect opportunity to help a damsel in distress, using my amphibious stilts…....

  • Mel Brackstone replied

    I should have called! Mind you, the stilts will have messed up the reflections…..

    Mel, the shot is awesome of course. But I keep thinking about what`s in that water.
    I`m loving the way Tots gets involved in all this stuff and works with so many of you. I so wish I was in Oz… would be so cool to be closer to the vibe.
    As far as this shot goes, onsider my thoughts provoked…

    This is brilliant Mel… love the idea behind this and the thoughts of turmoil that it conjours in your head. The composition is fantatsic and the stark contrasts between the blockwork and the model are wonderful. Love that yellow ladder!

    Poor Tots – the places you put her Mel! Only you my friend could make such an erotic and compelling image of a storm water sump.

  • Mel Brackstone replied

    Ohhh….I wondered what it was called, figured it was a silt trap or something….they’ll cover it over, right??

    Thanks Geoff….
