Thank you for your comments Christine. Photography was, and is, a number 1 hobby of mine and when I was working in Carriacou I took the opportunity to record the things I saw. I stored all the negatives when I got home and recently digitized them all. I realised that many of them had never been printed; hence the blog. I have put them into sections and linked them to short articles using my diaries as source material. I’m glad you find them interesting. I have thought of creating a book and have made some initial enquiries about how to go about the process. I’m still not sure how I can do it or what it would cost to print. More importantly, I’m not sure what the demand for such a book might be. If there are others, like you, who would want such a book then I would seriously consider writing it and looking for a publisher. Early days, as I say, but nontheless a worthy goal I think. Would you agree? I appreciate your thoughts and comments. Keep ’em coming. Regards, Bill
I recently watched Alexis Andrews film “Vanishing Sail” recording the build of Exodus by Alwyn Enoe at Windward, Carriacou. Zepherine and Mermaid get a too brief mention and there is a short clip of Capt. John Smith with Mermaid.
I own “Sweetheart” another of Zepherine’s wonderful creations. Sadly I never met Zepherine but would’ve to have a decent photo of him to put with the archive I have of “Sweetheart”. We race her every year and she is very much loved in her adopted island of Antigua.
I do hope you go ahead and publish your book. There’s plenty of demand and interest. Can I help?
Hi Charles,
Thank you for your comment. I am hoping to get an opportunity to see Alex’s film when it finally arrives on these shores. Reports suggest it is an excellent piece of work. If you wish I can find a photo of Zeph for you. I think the best thing to do is send you an email and we can work out what you want and how to send it. I have been asked on a few occasions about a book. Up to now I’ve put the idea on the back burner but I do keep it in mind.
Hi,
Love these pics – a real history. Can I get these in a book? Are these just odd pictures that you have? Would love to get something like this.
Look forward to your response.
thanks,
Christine
