Today I chose photos of Hands at Work. The first image shows a fisherman fixing his nets. I am not sure what the tool he is using is called, but he pulls it through the nets repairing holes and weak areas.
The person in the second photo was splitting a fresh codfish. When I was a young boy I remember watching fishermen in Winterton, Trinity Bay as they split their daily catches of codfish. I remember how skillful and fast they were as they split the cod with very sharp knives. The woodcarvers were making tiny figures for sale, so this can be considered work. The guy playing the guitar was actually working - his band was playing at an outdoor concert in Florida.
