Made contact

I went down to the Boat Building Academy (BBA) this afternoon (May 25th 2016( and was met by an enthusiastic principal, Yvonne, who was most helpful. She explained that there were several photographers working with the boat builders but as long as I phoned up to check in advance it should be okay. I'll have to sign an undertaking not to use my pictures apart from agreed areas.

I took a picture of a wooden mast in final stages of preparation. The way this guy handled the wood was almost lovingly.

I love watching the way that the person working on their project gives it such love and attention.  Each piece of worked wood is stroked lovingly as it is formed and sanded down.  I'd like to use this image in my final choice but as it was taken on my iPhone, it's probably not fine enough.
