- (1888PressRelease) January 13, 2014 - Imagine swimming in the warm waters of Hawaii. You take a deep inhale and dive down. You swim down like a dolphin. You pass 30 feet, then 60 feet, then 90 feet and then slowly flatten out like a skydiver as you approach the bottom of the ocean. You gently turn and stand up on the bottom of the sea, at 120ft. You look up and see the sun as a tiny bright dot against the surface of the ocean. Looking at your dive watch, you know this breath will give you another 2 minutes before you must return to the surface because you have a 6 minute static breath-hold. You are holding your breath, one breath. You lift your camera…
For six years freediving teacher Ted Roe has been conducting a photographic study documenting nature and the underwater world on the Big Island, Hawaii. Roe has documented images of wild dolphins' resting behaviors, hunting behaviors, play behaviors and many engaging interspecies communications. The striking images in Roe's portfolio go further to document eye-to-eye contact, invitations and other interactions with wild dolphins.
Roe decided to self-publish a book including stories of these encounters to accompany these breathtaking photographs. He chose Kickstarter.com to host his crowdfunding campaign, The Leaf Game.
Roe's collection also includes beautiful photographs of turtles, fish, geckos, other wildlife, landscapes, flowers, sunsets, and some images of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
The last day to participate as a "Backer" to fund the all-or-nothing campaign is Janauary 19, 2014. Ted will ship any Reward as a gift in your name to a hospital, children's hospital, school, library or other organization you choose.
