There is nothing like being totally submersed beneath the cool water. One is inclined to feel invigorated, awake, refreshed. This photo was intended to capture a truly pure and simple exchange between two lovers with nothing other then themselves to concern their thoughts. The intention was to convey such a raw, clean, vulnerable passion that provokes the heart to feel alive as much as afraid.

Paul Hammer said (17 Feb 2012):
DOES ANYONE KNOW LEAH'S CONTACT INFO? Been trying to get in touch with her about licensing this photo for an album cover, but I can't figure out how to get in touch with her. We're a NY based band, Savoir Adore, and this photo would fit so perfectly aesthetically and conceptually for our new record, "Our Nature".

Any information would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
