yes ! I live 200 miles above the Arctic circle in a very small whaling village of 750 Inupaq Eskimo's. Believe it or not. I was faced with the ultimate challenge.. ! how do you develop 60 rolls of color film when you have NO WATER! ? True story.! I had to melt snow, for 6 months! to obtain the necessary precious water to mix chemicals, develop the film & process 11 x 14 images! how do you wash film without RUNNING water? ha ha ha ha
these negatives (6x7) are still.. in pristine condition.. here are some of the results.!!
BTW: Point Hope is the OLDEST CONTINUALLY INHABITED SETTLEMENT OR VILLAGE.. .. ... IN ALL OF NORTH AMERICA ! LIFE CAN ACCURATELY be traced back some 3,000 years!
-=EASTER SUNDAY, (explanation below)
That's how the "children go whaling" Notice the "sled" under the "boat" ?
ha ha ha ha ha.. NOW HERE IS THE REAL THING!!
See the sled ? the children Know what they are doing! This is their life!
-=Home Sweet Frozen Home!=- This is home.. .. for two months!
This is where we sleep, for two months. No tents! temp 40 below zero (F)
:lmao: ..how do we stay warm? .. .. .. .. come and learn.. .. .. The Eskimo Way! HOW DO YOU GET fresh water.. 3 miles out.. .. on the ocean ice?
betcha can't figure that out!!
