Thomas Prior


I'm super into photographer Thomas Prior's series on dangerous recreation. I just bought a print of this image, which was taken at Blackrock diving tower in Salthill, Ireland. At low tide you can climb up inside, but during high tide, the water swirls up the staircase. Scary!

I think I like it because it reminds me of that scene in The Rescuers when Penny gets lowered into the black hole via bucket, and then the water comes rushing in, and she has to pry open the pirate's skull with a big sword to get the Devil's Eye diamond and Madame Medusa is all "Hurry Up!" and Snoops just jumps up and down looking like a big fat ginger pedophile.
