Photographer at sea, Port Angeles-Victoria Ferry, 2009

Several hours after I had made my previous image of Tim May’s hectic checkout ( http://www.pbase.com/pnd1/image/114573965 ), I photographed him on the fantail of a ferryboat bound for Canada. He seems to be master of all he surveys here. The wake of the ship streams past him, pointing to the stormy State of Washington in the background. The flag provides a layer of primary color as it whips over his head. It is a touristic image that we can feel – the cold, wet wind cuts through us as well -- as the wideangle frame adds a touch of frigid grandeur to the scene. (And he doesn’t even use the hood on his jacket!)

To borrow a phrase! None of those weather conditions were present, but it was very windy and cold while you kept your appointed rounds.

Neither, rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor ice can keep a photographer from his appointed rounds.
