into the surging deep
...a little bit of saltwater never hurt anybody.
[...] αὐτὴ δ᾿ ἂψ ἐς πόντον ἐδύσετο κυμαίνοντααἰθυίῃ ἐικυῖα: μέλαν δέ ἑ κῦμα κάλυψεν. [...] στην κυματούσα μέσα θάλασσα βουτάει ξανά, παρόμοια νεροχελίδονο, και χώθηκε στο μαύρο κύμα μέσα. [...] and [she] herself plunged again into the surging deep, like a sea-mew; and the dark wave hid her. ...the camera was leaking water from the first moment it went into the sea. after frame 24, the take-up spool jammed. it wouldn't go to the next frame, nor it would rewind. I had to unload the film in the darkroom. a little bit of saltwater never hurt anybody.

villa aqua
a little underwater trip with the lomo aqua pix film camera.
‘how long were you under the sea?’‘it was almost nine thousand years.’ ‘you mean . . . you just sat there?’ ‘I was not instructed to do otherwise. I heard the song of the whales above me. it was dark. then there was a net, and rising, and light. these things happen.'

under the sea
...got a lomo aqua pix waterproof / underwater camera for a handful of dollars. it was neither waterproof, nor lightproof.
"I'd like to be under the sea, in an octopus' garden in the shade.we would be warm below the storm, in our little hideaway beneath the waves." bought a lomo waterproof / underwater camera for a handful of dollars. it was neither waterproof, nor lightproof. the film survived, albeit with lots of fog and salt. interesting results when used above water - the saltwater might have influenced things a bit.
