About The "fish" in this scene is among the first photos I took with the new Nikon CP 990 in May 2000. It's a model of what palentologists at Yale once thought, based on the fossil record, was the first creature to make the transition from water to land. Current thinking envisions something much more like a modern crocodile. In any event, it's now part of a composite photo illustration that seems a fitting companion to "Nightswimming." As for the title, I've seen my life flash before my eyes (metaphorically, at least) a couple of times, and those were always the first words to come to mind. Comments welcome.

Ha Ha! Great one Jim... Dunno about just thinking that statement, you would maybe see it as well!
Great job ;o)


Richard Thornton   {K:26442} 8/21/2003
You have constructed a really good image, sort of believable, sort of mechanical, but graphically all together to let us view a fish in an alternate universe (but nearby).

Incredible! Very unusual but beautifull. Cecilia


Marcio Cabral   {K:12496} 8/21/2003
Excellent work Jim! regards!!

I think it must be the most common expletive when something terrible is about to happen, but it really does some up this image, I think it is incredible, I really love it, so well done, Jim you are just sooo good at PS, I wish I had your imagination. Top marks my friend, this is great - Richard.


Jani Salvataggio   {K:26853} 8/21/2003
good composition, and very beautiful blue!


peta jones   {K:12615} 8/21/2003
This is why I love the sea...to look at. :) Incredible colour and PS work Jim. Very cool.


Leslie Cohelan   {K:20887} 8/21/2003
One thing that comes across to me is not just how good your PSA work is bbut about the mind behind it...I magine, that if you wanted to you could do a very serious illustration...but it is the humor, or the dark humor that lies just under the surface (no pun intended) that come out in your images....the creativity...another excellent image

Great title also. Like Richard said, "sums up the image"

Mark Beltran   {K:32612} 8/21/2003
It's not photorealism, but more like situational realism. LOL. This is like an ongoing theme in this universe...that in order for life to continue, something must eat or be eaten.


Karen Siebert   {K:12076} 8/22/2003
Jim - you are so darn creative. I wish you would send some my way. I am waiting for you to open up your PS Workshops. I am going to attempt some of my projects this weekend.


Craig Garland   {K:27077} 8/22/2003
Jim; Nice title for this surrealistic and well composed photo art piece.


Dave M   {K:9043} 8/22/2003
Humorous and effective. Jim, you need to think about marketing these, if you haven't already. Here, let me title your first book: "(Adventures in) Blue." ;-)


^j^ .   {K:8554} 8/22/2003
Tsunami !!!!!!!


Anna    {K:2994} 8/22/2003
Sooo creative, Jim.... but tell me, are your dreams blue too?


Jim McNitt   {K:11246} 8/22/2003
Thanks guys. This actually began as a "serious" piece which I had intended as a part of an ongoing visual exploration of evolution. But after "Nightswimming," I just couldn't restrain myself.

And, Dave, the idea has crossed my mind. But then I'd probably have to do a whole bunch of the images in duotone to keep printing costs down.


ADAM ORZECHOWSKI   {K:7957} 8/23/2003
