This image comes from Quissett Harbor Boatyard. The very careful and precise sanding of the side of a boat caught my attention, and during a very thorough conversation with the man giving so much care I took this picture and obtained his permission to use and publish it.

My thought about this is that the mask hanging from his neck almost takes me into the operating room, and reminds me of the standard and duty of care that human beings have towards the work and people and things that they are responsible for, whether they are surgeons or sanders.

12x18 inch pigment ink print on rag paper, varnished, mounted on canvas and framed in a 2.5 inch custom gold florentine frame.

This frame is beautiful. It is a custom made, hand rubbed wooden frame covered in gold (not real gold) paint. I believe it is a Hackman frame.
