The photos were taken Jan 4, 2008 on a day when the Sydney beaches were closed due to dangerous seas. The swell almost carried me away ... I have the injuries to prove it! Nearly lost my camera, cell fone .. and (with a little hyperbole), my life! The model was often holding onto the rocks for sheer protection! Made posing difficult. Every three or four minutes a huge wave would break and carry a metre of water speeding across the 'studio' floor! What we do for Art!
