this is not manipulation, it's film,disposeable underwater cam.

i fell asleep underwater yesterday. and i had a dream. i was a mermaid again. like Pheobe. the other day, i watched the episode where Pheobe and Cole first met. probably that's why. i saw you on the land. reaching out for me. but my heart starting growing cold, that's what happens to mermaids, you know. the sea was calling for me. i swam, swam to the caves. with jellyfishes and sea horses. i sat down on a turtle, and i sang. sang songs i've done for you, even that one we've done together. sang for the whole kingdom of the sea. then an octopus came by, said you were calling for me. he said, that you loved me and wanted me. all the dolphins got excited, they said they've seen people in love, and that it was a good thing. in our kingdom love is just a myth. something noone had, and wanna believe it. i looked at the octopus and i told him, i'm loyal to my kingdom, that i cannot go. i'm a mermaid you know, sea is all i know.


this is a shot from that same day. with the same disposeable underwater cam. lovely melis has taken this shot. this is me just floating, not really willing to breath actually.

love is just a myth by ~DelilahWoolf has that great 70s muted film aesthetic and a really striking sense of how the composition of an image can make or break it. The light streaming in throuh water, the pose of the model, and the movement within the piece make it work beautifully. The dreamlike reflective qualities of the image make it surreal and inviting, perhaps hopefully, perhaps tragic. The many conflicting readings that come through in this image also make it fit the MO of surrealism. The suggester said, "The reason I enjoy this shot so much is because of the sheer emotion it evokes when you view it--it can take the viewer to almost a dream-like reality, and you can practically hear the silence of the underwater world. Not only that, but the choice of title wraps it all up into one outstanding piece of art." (Suggested by ~SpenserG89 and Featured by ^opioid)

Love is a long-lost myth, beyond the folds of an ever-dark mist, mermaid. Once I saw the mermaids (or it would better to say i supposed to saw them) during a deep-dive. It was clearly the effect of nitrogen narcosis. Magic of the dark indigo depths surrounds you to make real your hidden dreams. This is just the question of whether you deserve to see them; whether are you strong enough to see them, to live with them, and bring back them to the abyss before you left your dreams...

I don't feel the need to explain my art to you, Warren.
:icondelilahwoolf:
you know i'm really jealous of all that diving you've gotten to do, and your experience in underwater. i looked for your book here in çeşme, i couldnt find it, is it in the august issue? if it is then i'll still have the chance to find it when i leave here.
