Very sweet. I likes. Short n sweet. To the point.
Isn't it interesting how us underwater film makers get excited by the most interesting obscure subject matter. Something that the averge "joe" would ignore.. we obseve, and study, and film, and find beauty in... others would ignore it. :)

Indeed...

Although truth be told, in this case vis was kinda crappy, I was looking for a Grunt sculpin, baby wolf eel or even a small octopus, and the Alki Junkyard was just not delivering. I saw the Cucumber and remembered how I teach kids (in my marine critter presentation) how they are UW dust mops and had never really had a chance to film one. Voila! Subject!! (otherwise known as I was desperate) Did an hour dive just chasing sea cucumbers and hermit crabs :)
