It's fair to say photographer Seth Casteel now understands the power of the social web.
On Thursday night, the Los Angeles-based photographer received a couple of emails informing him that photos he had taken of dogs underwater had been posted to Reddit and Google+.
Then, Friday morning.
"I woke up to a bunch of money in my bank account," the photographer told The Huffington Post in a telephone interview, saying that he had received so many orders for prints that his newly established online store was experiencing stability issues.

Casteel, who, naturally, has two dogs of his own (a mini Labradoodle and a Norwich terrier), said that he's drawn to underwater dog photography because the photos show a side of dogs that people may have never seen before.
"Over the course of several thousands of years, we've taken wolves and made them Boston terriers," Casteel told HuffPost. "But still, at the heart of it, dogs have wild instincts. For me, it's all about seeing those wild instincts come through underwater. They're getting back to being wild. They really love being wild. And under water, they have the best chance of doing that."
"Whether it's silly, whether it's focused, whether it's terrifying. You see that underwater," he added.
WOW! Those photos are truly amazing! Have you ever seen anything like that before?
