The photographer's FB page:
[link]I have one of the neatest jobs on the planet, and it's because of the help of so many people that I'm able to do it.
I perform and educate as a mermaid! I focus on ecology issues and literacy and promote these with children and youth of all ages! I get to perform and speak at festivals, special themed days like World Ocean's Day, educational institutions like schools, universities, museums etc and I do it at birthday parties too! It's also a really fun thing to model with, as you can see.
My tail is made of movie-quality silicone, and yes I can swim in it! Check out my youtube link for some videos:
[link]This fall I will have an opportunity if everything works out, to do some real activism work in a poorer area of the world. I'll spend time teaching children and helping with a literacy initiative, and I'll be talking to tourists about the local environment and ecology.
