WaltzMiriam VtP Annotation: Algal Bloom image

The image is a picture taken during ethnographic fieldwork by the author. The composition is really intereting - the figure scooping algae from the river divides the picture in two, with the polluted shore below and the algae above. One can see two people taking pictures through two shadows reflected in the river, and this seems to suggest the presence of the ethnographer in a way. The picture is taken from above, which anonimyses the figure and places the algal blooms as the centre of attention.
