I like the peaceful feeling of the leaves on the water, but I would like it better if you couldn't see into it. I've always thought that I might get comfortable in water with scuba gear - I think it's the breathing problem that got to me. Though being a non-swimmer didn't bother me when I was in an open dinghy, in choppy water outside the Milwaukee breakwater, in December, shooting the Neeskay research boat's "action portrait" a decade ago. Maybe the cameras kept my mind off getting wet.
