Gone Swimming

via monk3.tumblr

Update: Photographer: Martin Johansson, Malmo, Sweden. (Thanks for finding him for us Rose)!

Sadly I don't have the name of this photographer. Tumblr can be bad for that. If anyone knows, please let me know so I can credit them (and maybe buy one of these prints)! Thanks!

this is one of the coolest snaps I've seen in awhile. I feel like I'm sinking under the water when I look at it.

Wow, this is both beautiful and so scary looking. I almost hear the "Jaws" theme.

Hi Rose - Oh I know - Sadly I don't have the name of this photographer (and should've posted that earlier - thanks for reminding me). Tumblr people are so bad for that. If anyone knows, please let me know so I can credit them (and maybe buy one of these prints too)! Thanks!

So inspired by this photo, I wrote a blog post about it! Thanks for sharing this Jan!

Rose Hudson said...

I contacted the person who put the image on their tumblr page, hopefully they'll get back to me with a name! If they do, I'll let you know so we can pester the artist and beg for prints :)

Oh, I LOVE this! I have really bad arthritis (I'm only 32!) and live in the Midwest. I so long for the ocean, as I feel it is so healing. Just looking at this photo makes me feel like I'm just bobbing along in the ocean:) Nice find- thanks for sharing.

Oh great Rose - where did you find the contact - i looked everywhere for a contact.
