Slow Photography #83 Exploring the Shrimp Hole

GETTING THERE: After sailing to Long Island, Bahamas in February 2018, we rowed our dinghy .4 miles (650 meters) east from the anchorage to a sponge fisherman's area ashore at Gray's Bight settlement, Long Island. First called Yuma by the Arawaks, and later named Fernandina by Columbus, Long Island is 180 miles southeast of Nassau.  Explore the Shrimp Hole and see the shrimp bodies reflected by the undersurface, an experience like floating in space, in this video:                 Play   Video "Exploring the Shrimp Hole, A Salty Paws Adventure" THE SHRIMP HOLE: We'd been previously to Long Island's famous Deans Blue Hole, one of the world's deepest at 663 feet. However, swimming in the shrimp hole was surreal. To get there, you can drive South from Thompson Bay.

Slow Photography #84: Serve and Return ~Jimmy Connors and Fast Kodak Film

Caught on Film: Jimmy Connors returns serve to Stan Smith .  Kodak has been a vital and important part of photography all my life. So, it was a thrill to learn this week's news that Kodak Alaris is bringing back T-Max Professional P-3200/TMZ film is coming back, March 2018 in 36 exposure rolls, after being discontinued 5 years ago. Film is Kodak's heritage. Tennis is my heritage, but at the other end of the racket. I started playing amateur tennis when I was 9, but the pros, including Connors, were heroes who lived on another planet, visible through the distant telescope of TV. I craved a Wilson T2000 racket so I could hit as hard as Jimmy. Now, I had the chance to cross over, and see bad boy Jimmy Connors up close. For 160 consecutive weeks, he ranked #1 in the world and when played in Denver, Colorado my senior year in high school, he was the men's singles champion of the Denver Open for the 3rd year. At the time, playing for the Manual High School tennis tea

Slow Photography #51 Color, Dance and Energy at Bahamas Junkanoo

Image
The photographer Jim Austin Jimages captures Junkanoo and its music, passion and personalities.   Feel the drums, the fire in “ya belly”, the rhythms of Junkanoo , the soul of the Bahamian people. Junkanoo dancers have costumes made of crepe paper, and their masks consist of colored cloth and leather. These stilt dancers, street dancers, clowns and acrobatic dancers are joined by bands playing powerful rhythms on goatskin drums, cowbells, bugles, horns, whistles and Queen conch shells. All the dancers spend months making their costumes by hand. Jim traveled to Nassau several times under sail, rowing ashore to meet the dancers at midnight on Bay Street, for this 9 image photo essay, "Portraits of Bahamas Junkanoo":   The next Junkanoo is Boxing Day December 26, 2015. Thousands will dance in the streets.  ____ The Photographer JIM AUSTIN JIMAGES is a teacher and writer. He sails from the Bahamas to Canada, living year-round
