Ophelia
From Wikipedia.org:
Ophelia is a fictional character in the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. She is a young noblewoman of Denmark, the daughter of Polonius, sister of Laertes, and sweetheart of Prince Hamlet.
A possible historical source for Ophelia was Katherine Hamnet, a woman who fell into the Avon River and died in December 1579. Though it was eventually concluded that she had overbalanced while carrying some heavy pails, rumours that she was suffering from a broken heart were considered plausible enough for an inquest to be conducted into whether her death was a suicide. It is possible that Shakespeare - 16 at the time of the death - recalled the romantic tragedy in his creation of the character of Ophelia.

Much appreciated feedback so far from Sudhir...
"..feminist, consumerist, gender, identity, media, culture and political perceptions are the various points of contexts which u may choose from.this should take care of the aspect of where u would like to address your issue, or would you like to connect it to the contemporary 'aesthetics'......"
How the body is portrayed in the media..
Researching how the body is portrayed in media for the masses. No surprises, we're still lusting after skin, sex appeal and high fashion..Do we adore these people, does that make us superficial?

Dive Otago to the rescue!!
Dive Otago has come to the party!
Meeting them on thursday last week has really helped move things along, the pool is booked free of charge sometime between the 26th and the 31st to work on my final shots.
Spoke to Dave about the pool, it's quite large (photos up hopefully soon!!) and the water is a lot clearer than that of Moana Pool, which gave quite a strong fogged picture and a very unattractive blue hue at times.
The pressing issue now that is in the way of my final shots is the fact my underwater housing is out of use, it needs (and might not be able to be) fixed. So at this time, my land-lubber camera is going to be used, but this brings up the problem that I cannot use this below water, so can I get shots with maximum impact on the surface?
