Ray Whitehouse Photography

I spent time last weekend making pictures at the Northwestern University swimming pool during a varsity swim meet.

I wasn't on assignment so my goal was to shoot pictures that I liked. This is not to say I don’t like the pictures I shoot while on assignment. What I am saying is that I had no directive of what to shoot. There was no need to get the winning swimmer or document the peak action. I just wandered around the pool and looked for interesting occurrences that were usually subtler. Many of them didn’t even occur in the water. I'll use the term "visual wandering" for the aforementioned kind of shooting.

Below are the pictures I like the most:
