looks like rain

We found a pink girly bike on the side of that road on the way to this shoot so naturally it was added to the already huge pile of random stuff in the boot.

I jumped in the pool with these crazy musicians and kept handing them props and directing them to complete various acts of underwater stupidity. James managed to stay dry by offering to operate the camera through a viewing window.

I also shot some film with an underwater camera but I’ve been really slack and haven’t developed it yet. If I’m lucky, being in the hot car for this long will have screwed it up a bit and I’ll get magical surprises when I finally make some prints.

    yep, really great and surreal
    i also liked the position of the bycicle, like 90 grades, and it gives the photography lots of perspective

    this is so cool! i’d like to see something like this + the Kimothy wire and blood…..... maybe a bit of Laura Dern (do you remember that?) underwater, wrapped in plastic…... of course you’d need some life guards….... which lets face it couldn’t be all that bad ;) i think the varnish has gone straight to my head this morning (have been painting before work) :D

    Great shot, colours and nice bike. The shot makes you wonder if a liquid glass effect has been used for the reflection (knowing that it hasn’t) as it’s a perfect foil for what’s going on in the pool.
