"bathers"

These are terrifying. They really close in on how a lot of our leisure activities are actually admissions of mortality. I don't know if that's a stretch but that's what I get out of them. The desaturation of the colours and the weird focus effects make the people - who were probably really enjoying themselves when so captured - seem to be in great danger. Drowning is certainly on the list of possible ends, but these people look as though they're being electrocuted, or deafened.

Thomas Zika, by the way. Don't know a damn thing about him except he got the photos from calendars and catalogues and screwed them around. Neat.
