Behind the scenes at a classy jewellery shop in Hong Kong a goldsmith hammers a ring into shape, surrounded by his tools of trade. Taken with my little Kodak V550. The lighting was poor as you can see, but it is better full screen
. The contrast between the front of shop and the workers' conditions was very apparent, but this gentleman seemd very intent on his work and happy to display his talent.
I may enter this is the contest.

The back room rarely reflects the front room LE. A good entry should you decide to use it.

I also think this would make a great contest entry.
Lots of interest and eye appeal in this shot. Not only do we have tools of the trade , we have tools of the trade in action.
Good luck should you decide to enter it.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

No shortage of 'tools of the trade' here and the inclusion of the man working on something all go together to make this an excellent entry...best of luck.

What a great capture Lyn! His desk may be a mess, but I'm sure his head is clear. He seems quite focused on the task at hand. Great entry and good luck my friend!

Lots here to view and study. Doesn't look like the best of working conditions. Typical of that part of the country. Nice.
