brass lens paradise (vintage large format) A maritime adventurer

He has just completed non stop, around the world, one man sailing:

this time east-ward bound trip following his own west-ward bound trip

in 1974.

Great lighting and exposure. This has a strange aesthetic about it that reminds me of something from a science fiction movie, in a good way. i like it.

Looks like a mad scientist in his laboratory? But the impression may be a little different by a close up look. Gentle, isn't it? Only large format can evaluate this detail. Thanks.
