The Reflecting Tide Pool An ochre sea star is subtly reflected in the tide pool below. It could just have well been a portrait of me as a child visiting the city pool where my grandma lived that had a high dive, I'd probably still be up there trying to convince myself to jump if not for the social pressure of knowing other people were waiting behind me.
Keeping One Eye Open Thousands of years ago a visiting Cyclops commemorated their love of the Pacific Northwest by crafting a self-portrait, the only known example still in existence today. I had the pleasure of photographing it in 2013 and was surprised by how delicate and fragile it was given the powerful force that created it, suggesting Homer's portrayal of the Cyclopes as ignorant brutes in The Odyssey was little more than slander.
