Captain Tom's Pad
Across the narrow bay from the town of Golfito, Costa Rica was a backpacker (mochilero) destination run by an old American expatriate amputee, simply referred to as Captain Tom. He lived with a pretty young Costarican woman and their baby in this colorful trailer. "The office" was surrounded by a haphazard group of buildings and cottages situated in a tropical forest that this area is so well known for. The area was also known for it's magic mushrooms--thus the constantly arriving mochilero population.
The community had an honor system. Rent was $1.00 a day and when travelers departed they shoved an envelope under the door of the trailer.
This photo was taken by a Yashica Electro 35CC and COLOR-YASHINON DX 1:1.8 f=35mm lens with a Pro 52mm (UV) Japan filter using 35mm Kodak slide film and was saved from the ravages of time by a scan of the slide by an HP Scanjet G4050 and restored using multiple operations with Photoshop.
