Being an avid ocean swimmer, diver as well as the creative type, I’ve arranged a collection of underwater photos to share my latest and most intimate underwater experiences. The photos were taken in Tanzania from January – March 2014, a liminal time, juxtaposed of self and sea exploration. Each photo is accompanied by a one-line poetic description to authentically express my experience, emotion and and love for the ocean. See more photos, videos, etc at: www.reneeblundon.com
Peaceful Surroundings: Motionless with a panting fish surround, immersed in illuminated hidden depths
Platax Close At Hand: With compressed bodies, they swerve, curve and follow along, in a state of potent curiosity
A Rock in the Sea: Floating over a rock, untouched by human hand, full of unseen creatures
Birds of the Sea and Shore: Mostly white with some tarnished gray, a carved instant of unchallenged flight
Nature's Scheming: A filefish crouches beneath the shaded sea and dissolves into a barnical backcloth
Mindlessness In Itself: "It's really when one stops thinking about oneself and become oneself" -Sergio Tiempo
"The Sun Always Shines Above The Clouds" - Paul Davis: Storm clouds drop down into the sea, adding darkness to a radiant sky
Schooling Dagaa: I swim, as one of them, a fish in a school, and wonder where, this fish will go...
A Dynamited Hole: Boom! A deliberate hole of death, followed by so many more, a dying reef crying-out
Spotted Puffer: What big body with wonderful spots gliding through the water like an undersea zeppelin
Trumpet: Teemed among turquoise tides, lie sunken secrets in a reef abound
Beneath the Boat: Obscure and shifting, a blanket of silver flecks beneath the silent waves
Where Sky Meets Sea: A seam of vast expanse, and a liminal landscape, captured in a marginal space
