Deepest Blue Late September

Late September was photographed in South Africa, for Deepest Blue. The contours painted on the girl represent depth contours as seen in maps of the sea. It is also, I guess, a picture about doing completely the wrong thing. She doesn’t need to be listening with her ear to the ground to tell her what’s coming – she’ll bloody well hear it coming, as it’s right behind her! I think the colours saved it from ignominy. The dry cracked earth was added as an obviously surreal element and as a soupcon of ambiguity, as it is rather near a very wet sea.
