Departing Michelson,
1972. After two years aboard, with more life experiences than I'd had
in all the previous years of my life, I stood on the pier in Yokosuka and
watched the Mickey Maru leave for another cruise and took these series of
pictures. I suddenly felt a huge loss, thinking I'll never see the ship or
my shipmates aboard ever again. I guess it was the first time I'd ever
truly "belonged" to something. |
