Three From at Sea
My recent post about Offshore in Mexico got me searching for images I took during sailboat deliveries in the Atlantic. Here are three Polaroids taken on different passages. I'm amazed how much they look like one another and how they could have been taken within five minutes of each other. I'm guessing they were each exposed somewhere out around 65 degrees West Longitude heading southbound. Up until three or four years ago it was possible to still buy Polaroid Spectra film. When I heard that Polaroid was about to go belly up, I stocked up on Spectra film packs. Now I'm down to 60 shots. (Although there is talk about a group taking over the old Polaroid production facility in the Netherlands, and beginning to make Polaroid film again.)
I've taken a lot of Polaroids in the past thirty-five years. I've collected some of them into a book called A Couple of Stops Down at the Speed of Light. You can check out some of my Polaroid images by either clicking here on by clicking on the PhatPolaroid's' tab above.
