Photographer Marita Gootee taps into that youthful disquiet regarding the goings on beneath the languid surface of a swimming pool. Using an 8X10 view camera with prolonged exposures, Gootee shifts attention between the obvious and the nearly invisible.

She notes:

The water looks placid until one looks deeper and sees the ghost images of other floating aquatic creatures…This series explores the dialogue between dreams and reality.
