the insanity of a moment
Posted by bluechameleon (Vancouver, Canada) on 21 February 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
..."The sun was setting and the air was getting colder. It was quiet , all except the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. There was a woman who had just ran into the ocean and began to swim, and I thought she was crazy. But it was then I wanted to do something completely insane...I wanted to turn his world upside down!
So I did"...
