This leaves me with feelings of desire and nostalgia.

When I saw this photo ... It reminded me of "The Turkish baths" of Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. I've had much concerns of works of 'under water'... I love stream, voices and lights of water. Thank you very much. Dear Hillary,

I have enjoyed your works very much.

At the moment I am taking a photo workshop at Breitenbush and only had time to respond to Laura's comment today. There's several feet of snow here, hot water to jump into and many photos to edit to show to the class tonight. I will be able to log on to the internet again tomorrow and respond to more questions that were asked... ...again, thanks. Thank you all for your comments and enthusiasm about this photograph…

Hot Springs are all over our planet and there are different cultures/communities that spring up around them. Since I live in the U.S. it is likely that I will return to many of those springs first. Each one is different, all in natural settings that have it's own personality and culture. Next would be an attempt to Travel to many places in the world where Hot Springs are most prolific and see what the culture is like there, stay a while and photograph, perhaps coming up with an entirely different body of work from each place. I am assuming each culture will have a different essence that I hope to communicate. The similarities of the human body, community and sensuality is what I hope to convey but then again it may all take an unexpected turn as that is part of the journey and the joy. As for the mix of B&W and Color, I will continue with my preference for Infrared Black & White film but I love to experiment and play... I will use several cameras...different mediums and hopefully, through a certain way of seeing and doing it will all come together. I know this is somewhat taboo to mix it up but I am going to try. I am just at beginning of this project so right now I am considering new concepts and going back to what inspired me about photography in the first place.

Hillary Atiyeh has certainly caught my attention with this very unique photo. I sit here looking and studying all the figures and just wonder what all is happening under these vast waters. What was in the photographer's mind while photographing this? Fully knowing anyone who sees this will all have different versions of what Hillary was thinking while snapping this very captivating glimpse into life under water. A story within a story. When a photograph can seduce one's imagination as this one has, the photographer has achieved her goal! You keep wanting to go back for more, to try to understand the depth of this photo, to get to the real meaning behind it, what is it meant to convey to ones who see it? So many questions. Brilliant work! Brava! More More Wow! Hillary Atiyeh has certainly caught my attention with this very unique photo.
