WATCHING
THE WORLD WAKE UP FROM HISTORY
TURTLE
WALL, Palau – Stephanie and I, friends bonded
in a desert kiln, sink and sink into the Pacific.
Our hands gesture, spider-looms under the sea.
Sinuses? Air? Check out that shark, sister!
The camera – clumsy in its underwater housing – slams my shoulder. Oh yeah. I shoot Steph. I snap the sharks: white-tips, black-tips ... and – whoa, Nellie – grey reefers.
My Canon – aka "the crapshoot" since the display drowned in Glacier Bay, Alaska, last summer – and its sad-@ss flash blunder at flora, fauna and friends alike. The images suck, utterly. Underwater photography requires BANK. More $$$ than I could ever muster.
But as Britband Jesus Jones sang:
I was alive and I waited
for this
Right here, right now
There is no other place I want to be
OMG, JESUS JONES!!! Although I like your underwater pics, I'm sorry, JJ steals the show.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for you to work in a-ha in a future post.
I don't normally take requests, but we'll see about the a-ha, DB.
ReplyDelete(A fiver in the tip jar works wonders...)
Ax, talking away, doesn't know what to say
**clap, clap, clap**
ReplyDeleteBravo, Amanda! Now how about a little EMF?
Since it wouldn't be cost effective to wire you that five dollars, how about if I just click on a few Google Adsense links?
Only if you solemnly promise to consider the fine products, DB. We'll endorse no click-fraud here!
ReplyDeleteA beer, next time you transit through Seattle, also works nicely and avoids (most) legal issues.
