8 images of children playing underwater in a summer pool in northern Italy will be showing at the Arthaus66 gallery New Mexico Arthaus66 found on the infamous Route 66
i spent several days lurking around in dive gear underwater in the summer of 2006 photographing waterbabies at play... i love the feeling of the giant quiet underwater room

the gallery will also be showing unframed 6 other of my works from the "100 years sleep series" these are printed on a new medium which is a metallic photo plastic ...super high end emulsion that i have just been introduced to by a fantastic lab in Nevada
