The Fisherman

DSCN0203A-Fisherman-With-Crashing-Wave

What does a photographer do when he goes on vacation? They often will bring their vision and way of seeing the world with them. For me, I took it as an opportunity to meet some people that I wouldn’t otherwise get to meet.

On this particular day, I met a gentleman and his son who asked me to not use their name. They were out fishing as a means of income, although not necessarily within accepted, umm, permissions. I asked if he would mind me photographing him, and I set about finding a way show his story. The trick ended up being timing the waves behind him.

The picture below was a found still life.
