KTLA Morning News!

Thanks to Jessie Nagel at HYPE PR, I got to wake up at the crack of dawn and do live TV!  Actually, after a year and half of working hard to document my swimmers,  it was nice getting The Secret out and sharing the images.  The morning team was great and loved the project. Thank you KTLA for supporting The Secret Life of Swimmers!

The Banners Are Up!

Very exciting! The banners are up in downtown Culver City! 

The Secret Swim

I made this film for the official Secret Life of Swimmers website.  Be sure to check out the site!

I have to thank Greg Daniels, a fantastic cinematographer, who help me shoot the film.  Here we are rigging up the underwater camera. He's a great guy and good sport for giving up his Sunday to come out and get waterlogged. 

This is the Go Pro HD underwater camera that I used for some of the underwater POV shots. It's super cool and straps to your head!

Coming Friday!

Here's a sneak behind the scenes peek at the banners which are going up on Friday in down town Culver City.  That's the lovely Linda Schwartz in the image I am proofing.  

If you happen to be eating at Tender Greens in downtown Culver City  look up and you will see the swimmers looking down at you. Here's a map.  Of where you can find them. 

This is the schematic that my husband created for the installation (he also made the map). 

Exciting News. Secret Life To Become Public Art Installation!

For the last year, while I have been working on photographing this series, I’ve been in conversation with the Culver City Art Cultural Affairs to turn The Secret Life of Swimmers into a Public Art Installation. After many meetings, I am thrilled to report that the Culver City Council voted unanimously in support of turning The Secret Life of Swimmers into a series of banners that will hang in downtown Culver City this summer through September.

After September, the banners will move to Sepulveda Blvd where they will remain for the next two years.

In addition to the banners, there will also be a website and virtual gallery dedicated to the project. There,  you can read about the swimmers and see a film I made.

The banners will go up in the next ten days, and I will post  the information here when they do.

In the meantime,  here is a sneak peak of the film for you!
