If William Beebe and Jacques Cousteau could send us love letters in photographic form, I’m sure they would choose Bruce Mozert to be the messenger. These underwater photos Mozert captured in the 1940’s are so beautiful I can’t stop looking at them. Originally shot as publicity photos to promote the immense clarity of the water in Silver Springs, Florida, these gorgeous images can be found in this book that came out last year. The methods he used to create these amusing aquatic scenes during a time when Photoshop was just a glimmer in a geek’s eye, continue to inspire today. Releasing condensed milk from a can to imitate smoke for the barbecue picture?! This man was quite the clever and creative fella….
More about it all here. Let’s swoon together.

You know the guy prolly
started this whole thing with some underwater upskirts!
naah, but for real,
this is one innovative guy.
Its kinda weird like, in the newspapaper and the BBQ shot, the women look almost dead? Almost creepy. My fav has to be the hook photo. Off THE HOOK!

The boy in the second picture better be careful. From what I understand, the lady has crabs.
