On a recent walk through Venice, I pressed my nose to a closed door into this man's workshop. I snapped a few photos though I didn't want to disturb his work. Quality isn't that good as I shot through a glass window, however, with the conversion to BW, image quality slightly improved. The craftsman is carving a "forcola" also known as the oarlock. A possible contender for the tools of the trade contest. As always, thank you for looking a leaving a comment.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
He's probably singing away Gibbs, or at least humming, we just can't hear him.
There is a lot to look at and enjoy in this timeless photo.
B/W makes it even more timeless.
I see the chair is empty, so his wife has left and he can work in peace.
Great entry for the contest.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
I too think this would be a great entry to contest and likely not to be repeated by anyone else!

Doug, it's not only a perfect entry for the 'Tools of the Trade' contest, but a excellent entry for the Wednesday B&W challenge as well.
Two chances for the price of one, my friend! LOL!!!
Good Luck with it!

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
I don't think I've ever seen a contest entry image fit the theme so well as this one does. It's loaded with tools and the craftsmanship necessary to utilize them, and the B&W treatment accents the old world feel perfectly. A winner. No doubt in my mind.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Did the craftsman notice you Doug? I know this genre / subject will be very popular amongst the Caedes community. No doubt it'll do well should you decide to enter it into the current contest. (o:

Holy - not sure you could fill the picture with any more tools. Smart decision going B&W. Wonder who the girl is?

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
A great shot of a delightful 'workers' workshop!...
Good luck for the contest!
