Seaducer sent me this photo, taken on a dive near Bonaire—the colors and shadows and the meaty, fleshy look of the beast give it a wonderfully baleful look.

Random Quote
The story of the Roman soldiers falling alseep is too feeble and clumsy to merit serious refutation; and that the soldiers were bribed to say they slept is, if possible, more preposterous still. The penalty while doing sentry work would be death, and it requires a rather liberal bribe to induce a man to offer himself for instant execution. If there be any such bravo on record, I have not heard of him, and I cannot quite see what use the bribe for which he gave his life would be to him, even if he took it with him into his coffin.

I'm not sure that I believe Seaducer's story. That shot has to have been taken near Innsmouth.

I think it's the red eye appearing to scowl at the camera that gives it the wonderfully baleful look.

That is not dead which can eternal lie...
Ia! Ia! Cthulhu! Eat me first!

Wow! I was totally bummed that the main flash didn't fire, I never dreamed that one day my work would make it to Friday Cephalopod!
*sniff sniff* I feel so honored!
Consistent with the fiction references, the whole experience was surreal. I have a couple of videos of the encounter as well, if anyone is interested. Send an email to seaducer at verizon dot net.
Keep in mind they are like 8 megs each.
