Rich has been in my circle ever since Omega LRP, and when I started this project we were discussing it and he was "up for" my suggestion of a topless portrait that would show off his ink, so here it is - thanks Rich!

Sarah was being briefed, by a member of the PLOT team, and so was OOC, but in IC kit. Although I didn't have time to tell Sarah about the project, I think it is definitely posed, in that I chose the angle to maximise the bokeh and she is clearly smiling for the camera.

first met Andy back in 2001, when he was still diving and was doing a bit with RUBSAC and so diving with El. Over the time I've known him a lot has changed for both of us, but it was nice to know that I could ring him this evening and as long as he was in I would have my portrait for the day. This was taken in the work-room / studio of the narrow boat that Andy and his partner Natalie live on, just off the Thames - the water was HIGH this evening.

kneeshooter has a new camera; I'm not gonna say exactly what, but I can't afford one. He let me have a play over the weekend, and has since (very kindly) sent me the RAWs of the two pictures I took with it, so here is a "behind the scenes" shot from Maelstrom this last weekend...
