Underwater model, scuba diver, scuba instructor, licensed boat captain, artist, mermaid and genuine nice lady Malena Sharkey in yellow rain gear for some "color" shots underwater. I'm the one with little hair and the Seacam-housed Canon MkII. We did the rain gear before the mermaid in the hammock.
Chuck Guthrie, out in his little photo boat, stopped, had lunch and shot this behind-the-scenes picture.
Most of the time we see mermaids swimming about; they're always going somewhere and rarely just relaxed and kicked back.
Last Sunday was a rare day. Mermaid Malena Sharkley took most of a day off to just hang with the photographer in some warm clear water.
I volunteered to shoot the kids, wagons, horses, games, face painting and anything else colorful and interesting at the Independence Day Parade in the Thoroughgood neighborhood in Virginia Beach this morning. This young girl was looking at my fill strobe on a mic pole. What a wonderful face and eyes.
