Poor Octopi. I can't help feeling like I'm invading their privacy. This whole week has been nothing but my probing, curious eye exploring their personal life. I'm not the only one though. Where do you think I get these pictures? The undersea paparazzi of course! Sure, researchers explore under the guise of Science - but I know they're digging up the dirt on my favorite cephalopods. Take the above photo for instance...To me, this pic is the equivalent of seeing Russell Crowe throw a punch at prying photographers. Below, we have the oceanic version of baby Suri, how cute! Don't worry folks, she was returned to the sea unharmed by scientology.
Day Eight - Reason #8 - The Octopus is SOOOO Photogenic.
If there is one thing I know now, that I didn't know before Octopus week began - It's that the octopus looks GOOD on film. I can see why crews with cameras would dive deep to spot them. I now see why artists continue to illustrate the squid - creepy beauty. Like Kate Moss and Jack White the Octopus has allure we can't deny and a dark side that keeps us enthralled.
