Description

The Purple Striped Sea Nettle (jellyfish) have drifted along on ocean currents for millions of years. Despite their name, jellyfish aren't actually fish—they're invertebrates, or animals with no backbones.
Jellyfish are plankton (from the Greek word planktos, meaning to wander or drift) and are not strong swimmers, so they are at the mercy of the ocean currents.
The Purple Striped Sea Nettle have tiny stinging cells in their tentacles to stun or paralyze their prey before they eat them. As jellyfish squirt water from their mouths they are propelled forward. Tentacles hang down from the smooth „baglike“ body and sting their prey.

The picture was taken on Polaroid55 film with a large format camera and developed in my own darkroom.
