Silver Springs: The Underwater Photography of Bruce Mozert

This is not your typical underwater photography coffee table book!! It is a quirky collection of carefully-posed photographs taken for crowd-pleasing effect, made for publicity pictures and postcards at Silver Springs. The effects are variously surreal, amusing, risque and kitsch. The photographer Bruce Mozert spent an entire career thinking of wacky scenes to shoot, and some of the ideas are brilliant. It's also a testament to the photographer's professionalism and achievement in making the best of the practical constraints (shallow fresh water, breath-holding models, buoyancy). The photographer and the models obviously had a lot of fun doing it. It's great fun to read. There are no stunning world-class masterpieces of technique or artistry here, but there's a style that grows on you. And to my surprise, there are a couple of hidden gems about underwater photography technique. Most of all - you're supposed to enjoy it.

Wonderful book. It's mainly a picture book, but has a nice history of the Silver Springs park.

still keep it as a coffee table book. Did come as an old library book; had multiple stickers and markings on it.

Ok

Excellent book detailing the both the history of Silver Springs and Bruce mozert who was the chief photograpner for over 40 year

Quality photographs and history of the uniquely awesome Silver Springs Florida in its heyday. Great memories for everyone who visited the Springs.

This is a true coffee table book in the finest tradion. You can just flick through the stunning pictures with their wacky scenarios of everyday life underwater or you can dive into the text and explore the fortunes of the silver springs resort.Less famous than the mermaids of Weeki Wachi, Silver springs was the poor relation of the two but you wouldn't think so from this book.A good read and fun too
