Beneath

I have always been drawn to the unknown or hidden and ponder on what lies beneath the surface of things.

Walking along the shoreline or riverbank a likely spot is selected. Using a converted film development tank as a pinhole camera, I flood the camera with water and sink it beneath the surface to make the exposure. Without the ability to compose and exposure by estimation, give luck and chance a large role in the process. The effects of water clarity, current, depth, and reflections add a serendipitous elements to the images. Each image that I develop is a surprise and reveals what was hidden.
