At the ship yard

The photo is dedicated to my good friend Christos Banos, for many years a very good friend of the sea...

For tough seamen and especially fishermen, a relaxing brake seems a luxury. Even when their boat is safely moored in a port or shipyard, there seems to be a good share of work waiting for every one of the crew, male or female.
A very tough,dangerous and often not handsomely rewarding proffession as many think.

I love theese fisherman photos.You can literally hear the seagulls, smell the nets and the diesel fumes. Atmospheric in the true sense of the word. But not to make mistakes about it, hard work it is.
Fantastic black and white, Alexander.

Yours, Jost

Men who go out to sea in small boats or in ships, they are a special breed. They are at the mercy of the vagaries of the weather and the sea itself. Coming from a town that was once the largest fishing port in the world, and having lived amongst the falilies of fishermen, I have seen the great sorrow when not just one man was lost, the whole ship was lost at sea.

A superb shot of these men busy getting ready for the next trip.
