Snorkeling, Elizabeth Bay, Isabela Island, The Galapagos, Ecuador, 2012

Snorkeling played a major role in our group's travels through the Galapagos. The swimmers among us enjoyed seeing an entirely different natural world unfold below the waters of the Pacific Ocean. I did not participate in snorkeling, but I always rode the Zodiacs accompanying them, photographing the wonders of nature above water level instead. Here I turn my camera on one of the snorkelers as he swam towards my raft for a breather. As he approached, another snorkeler, showing us only a feminine pair of feet, dove below the water behind him, as if to hide from my camera. I found the juxtaposition of gender and a distance to be incongruous, when viewed as one snorkeler instead of two.
