Meet Captain Turner

I don't take pictures where people are the subject very often and it really comes down to the fact that I don't like to have people pose for me, because...well I'm not good at that type of photography. When I do take these types of photos, it's a candid photo of them doing something they do everyday. Here's one such example.

First a little background info. Last week, I went fishing with a group from work. I'm not an avid fisherman, as a matter of fact I've spent most of my life hating the idea of fishing. You see, fishing is boring to me and I don't honestly enjoy sitting around and waiting for something to happen. Any ways, I do enjoy taking a day off work to do nothing every once in a while and I really enjoy seeing Captain Turner.

Now, here is a man who has spent his entire life on the water fishing. He knows every island, marsh and channel around Wachapreague and I would bet that he has no rival. Spending almost everyday out on the water for his entire 85 years, how could there be anyone any more knowledgeable than he. I have a great respect for this man that I've only seen a handful of times and I make sure that every time I see him, I stop and talk to him. This is how a I honor this hard working man who has spent countless hours sitting at the helm of the Bonnie Sue taking people like me out fishing. I can hardly wait for another opportunity to talk to him.

 

If you like the photo, then let me know.
