We would catch thousands of fish in nets, it was exhausting work, but fun. Don’t know how they do it now, but we did everything by hand. Finally got the heart to go through some of my old Kodachromes. I was using a Leica M4. It was my boyfriend’s father’s boat we worked on through the summers in the 80s.
