This is a marine life underwater decoration of kelp (seaweed) from deep under the sea. With the ocean lover in mind, this sea-themed art will make the perfect gift or decoration for a home or office.
THE STORY:
My name is Jamie. I had always been fascinated by the mysteries of the ocean. Since it had always been my dream to be a photographer, more specifically an underwater photographer, capturing the beauty of the sea on camera was a perfect fit. During the early years of my scuba diving life, I didn't have much in the way of expendable resources. So it took every penny I could to save up for my underwater camera and dive trips. I was patient and waited until I had enough for a trip. Sometimes I started saving a year or more in advance for a really big trip!I loved the unknown of not knowing what you would see underwater. I never knew if I was going to get the shot or not. It was always a surprise. I begin my descent, taking in the sights around me. Schools of fish dart by in a blur, their scales shimmering in the sunlight. Hearing the bubbles from my regulator was calming and meditative. I knew I was where I was supposed to be whenever I heard that noise! Seeing new sea creatures always kept me on my toes, and catching their image on camera to show non-divers was what excited me most. I was on this dive with my soon-to-be husband and two of my closest friends. We boarded our dive boat out of Long Beach harbor and were looking forward to a great day of diving.I was worried that my fiancé, the new diver that he was, would need "new diver" attention and that I wouldn't be able to take any photos on this trip. I needed to be a good dive buddy. But I get to the ocean so infrequently that I try to capitalize on every opportunity whenever I am there.Luckily, the weather was great, and the water was calm, which made the dives easy. I was able to tend to my fiancé as a good dive buddy should. And I was also able to take what I call "drive-by photos". These are the photos taken when you're in a hurry and catch something good out of the corner of your eye and don't have the time to set up the shot properly. The surge was strong during the day's second dive, and the kelp swayed back and forth beautifully. A single piece in the forest caught my attention, shorter than the rest. As the surge moved back and forth, one frond would circle around in front of the tall strand. It looked just like a dancer's third position of the arms. I imagined the kelp and the ocean calling me in this pose, "Would You Like to Dance"? I quickly positioned my strobes and snapped my drive-by photo!The final result was a fabulous addition to my kelp portfolio of underwater photographs. I was glad I could find a place with my old scuba life alongside my new one. And one of my friends who made this dive with us loved the memory so much that he even asked for a print!
