A Portuguese Man O War (Physalia Physalis) drifts in on the morning tide. Part of an
experimental portfolio of half over/half underwater images lit with underwater strobes.

What I really love about an over/under picture is that it gives an underwater image a
sense of place. It marries the underwater world with our own familiar world, it links the
unknown with the known.
