Richard Chen - West Coast of Vancouver Island near Hequiat Peninsula, British Columbia, Canada

These images were taken on our ill-fated trip in September of 2023 on my disposable film camera. The salt water corroded the film when we flipped on Day 3 of our week long trip, and what remain after we got this developed is a the salt water damage on the film's emulsion. At the end we were rescued and we survived, and we have these pictures to remind ourselves of the risks of the open ocean.
