Lobster Fisherman

A lobster fisherman hauls traps in the harbour near Dildo, Trinity Bay. Even though it is a sunny day in mid-May, you can imagine that standing in an open boat on the Atlantic Ocean is still a very cold job. If you look closely, you'll see that the fisherman has heavy clothing and gloves and his ears are covered.

The day after I took these photos, I travelled to a nearby iceberg on a boat and felt the bitter winds and salt spray first hand! It was VERY cold. I have travelled with fishermen to capture photos of their day at sea. A typical day began near daylight (4:30ish in summer) and ended after dark - a long day at sea.
