Photos of Weeki Wachee Mermaid's Tribute to the Olympics

I was fortunate to be asked to do an underwater photo shoot at Weeki Wachee today. The mermaids dressed up in their "patriotic" tails and wore Speedo caps and goggles in honor of Michael Phelps and the entire USA Olympic team.

I know it is a tough gig having to spend the afternoon swimming with beautiful young bikini-clad mermaids, but someone has to do it.

Yeah - that's cool. Damn you!

Ok now that I've got that out of my system - these are great Doug. Classic "Americana"

Cheers

Great shots, Doug. Except for that last one.

Great shots- I was able to shoot in the Springs with some of the mermaids several years ago. I hope the place is able to keep running! The photo is of one of my U/W fashion sessions.
