Staithes is a village which quite obviously is intrinsically linked to the sea. Forgetting the mention of Captain James Cook, and his brief apprenticeship in the village, Staithes has been the home and the starting point for many generations of seafarers.

The image above was taken with a disposable camera, which I like because of the total lack of control. Somehow also a light leak developed on the images, despite the camera remaining a sealed unit until developing. I don’t mind, the images were always meant to be more artistic snapshots than master pieces of technically brilliant photography.
