floating leaf, Savai'i, Samoa

​One of my favorite shots of all-time.  I was exploring Samoa with my family, and we visited the less-popultaed island of the Republic of Samoa, the island of Savai'i.  On the North shore we found true tropical paradise.  A small hotel on a beautiful sandy lagoon.  My kids played in this lagoon all day.  Towards the end of the day this leaf floated by in the clear water.  I waded out to it with my medium format camera in hand, following it as it drifted around.  I didn't see the image until I returned a few weeks later and my film came back from the lab.  That's something I miss about film - the anticipation.  Needless to day, when I saw this transparency for the first time, I was floored.
