Daily Deviation?!

Wow I wasn't expecting that!  Thank you so much DA and thank you to White-Starcloud for suggesting me!  A little about this series of photos that I did recreating the burial of Aeris Gainsborough from FF7.  We shot for about 6 hours.  We woke at 4AM, dressed and prepped the set, and began shooting around 8.  It was cloudy that day, which is unusual for Southern California, and it rained on and off all day.  We had to constantly evacuate the pool because of the rain, and rush all the equipment under the umbrellas to keep it dry.  Once the rain cleared we would return back into the water.  It was also freezing, as the pool we used didn't have a heater!  My hands were blue most of the day from being so cold, but it kind of worked out because I'm supposed to be playing someone who has bled out from a mortal wound, so no makeup was required there!  each shot I had to swim to a specific position the photographer wanted me at, above a backdrop, and slowly sink.  This required expelling the air from my lungs as I swam and then remaining perfectly still and serene as I sank.  It was incredibly hard, because the water flowed up into my nose and into my sinuses due to the position I was in (on my back).  Overall though, I was willing to do this forever to get the shots, and after about 6 hours of gagging and exhaustion from forcing my lungs to obey me, we got the shots!  I'm so glad everyone has liked them.   Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments!
