Sea Shanty

I'm still working on the architectural shots and still finding them a challenge. This is a diary shot as well as an attempt at a challenge. I spent my morning on that upper back deck overlooking the water interviewing the last oyster aquaculture farmer in the town of Chatham. His office is this very old sea shanty.

Fabulous shot of an old building right by the sea with an interesting story, it sounds like!

Laurie I think you are doing a great job with your architectural shots. I would love to be able to see and explore buildings like this

[Shirley Banford]

Beautiful old building. What a great story. Love it.

[Paul Myers]

And you could have taken a shot of him and gotten your first stranger portrait. ;-)

That must be a great place to live

[Rick Schies]

A world of his own living there. I bet it can be a lonely world

Fabulous old building, great shot!

[Beverly Carmichael]

I want to be him! Let's move in and ask him to go elsewhere. Great shot, clarity is stunning!

[Kalexa]

It looks like it has seen many sea breezes! Now I am curious as to what he looks like! Would have made an interesting shot with him standing stoically on that upper deck.

[Sharon]

Looks really big for a sea shanty. Bet the view is fantastic.. Would love to have that view for a work environment. Nice Capture.

[Laurie Higgins]

@webfoot @kalexa I did take a photo of the oysterman for the newspaper. I'll post it in my second album if you're really interested.

[Melissa Pike]

This is great, and it's exactly what I meant about pulling back and showing the building in its environment. See, you've got this architecture thing!

[Myrna O'Hara]

I have a friend who has grants in Wareham and is having a banner year with his oysters.

Great shot. Probably a nice way how to make a living, and tasty.
