Description

A we got wet, a we got wet.
A we got wet, a we got wet.

In the fountain, the spouting fountain,
The dolphins leap tonight.

There’s no fooling some people. This image was one of the very first night images I attempted after buying photographer Bob Marcotte’s Canon 5D. I laid down on the ground, shooting upwards, to catch the moon in a vain hope that I’d later fool Bunny Chafowitz into thinking that I’d managed to photograph dolphins leaping out of the water over my head. When I showed it to her, she was not impressed.  Not even a little bit.

“You cut off most of the fountain,” she said.
