Get Your Underwater Housing Ready


This is going to be a killer photo project for a scuba-certified photographer.

From Reuters:

After four decades carrying millions of New Yorkers, 44 of the city's subway cars are now home to millions of fish.


The worn-out cars were dumped on Friday into the Atlantic Ocean, 21 miles off the Maryland coast, to create an artificial reef, designed to attract fish for the state's lucrative sport-fishing industry.

"These reefs provide quality habitat for marine life off our coast which benefits not only the environment but also local businesses," said Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan.



I think this may be a job for Mr. Hetherington (who shot the portraits on this Wired job):

Or maybe Thomas Bangsted, my new favorite find from NYPF.
