When the ship sank, this small tea bowl and saucer drifted to the bottom of the South ChinaSea and stayed there for over 300 years. Today, I
took them down to the river to photograph them. But not too close. It seems unlikely they'd want anything further to do with heavy water. I haven't even been able to make myself pour tea into the cup. But I do spend a fair amount of time daydreaming about their long, long drift and sleep in the South China Sea. . .
You can tell they belong with the water ... but not too close. Great picture ... it's hard to make inanimate objects show emotion, but these do!
