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
We must therefore ask ourselves: What sort of thing is it reasonable to believe without proof? I should reply: The facts of sense experience and the principles of mathematics and logic — including the inductive logic employed in science.

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...

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.
