project 52 / week 33 / submerge
it’s 1999 and you wake up mid-morning late august
citizen king is static-y on the radio
the window’s open, 7 birds are singing
and you don’t want to do a damn thing
two feet on the floor, swing yourself up and out
ran out of milk but the cereal’s stale anyway
4 missed calls flash on the receiver
work starts in an hour
yesterday feels like weeks ago
the static from the radio has melded to your brain
the world spins on and the bottom drops out.
submerge, rinse, repeat.
33/52 // and the bottom drops out
This was weird and fun? Are you really a photographer if you don’t do this photoshoot? Pobby not. But, ain’t no way I am laying in a milk bath, blech. Luckily, fake black flowers dye the water enough.
How it was shot:
Supplies: tripod, wireless remote, continuous video light, fake black flowers, water
I set up the tripod, two legs in the tub, one outside and then filled it 3/4 full. I used a wireless remote and a continuous video light at 3000K mounted on the hot shoe. I added black flowers and they started turning the water black/gray. ISO 640, f/4, 1/160th
Tread carefully with a camera on a tripod over water, stay safe out there photogs.
