I was just starting in photography and how to use a 35mm camera when I was invited along to photograph a purse seine fishing operation with Connie Taylor on her boat the Thetis.

Not all the images are mine however I'm going to share all of them so one can see what that fishing industry is all about.

All the images are black and white and grainy as one can guess with the amount of time that has gone by and the many hands they have been thru that the scans suffered a little. Yet in some ways these images work pretty good in B/W.

I know for certain that most of the images showing the purse seine played out on the water are mine.

If you have any questions about the images please email me at jgomes@gci.net
