Millions of people have seen Michael Kahn's stunning seascape and sailing images exhibited in art galleries and throughout the art world. Collected for the first time in book form, this sumptuous coffeetable volume is a visual escape that evokes a visceral longing for the sea. In these photographs, you can feel the waves rushing under the hull, taste the salt spray on the wind, and hear the creak of the mast as the sails fill. Kahn hand prints his boat images using a process he developed over many years researching and working in the darkroom. His warm, sepiatoned images demonstrate his expertise as a fine printer. The results are unique photographs of unrivaled grace -- the white sails of the yachts float like ghosts -- and tranquil beauty. The Spirit of Sailing is a kiss to the sea and to the emotional qualities of the sailboat.
