Fearless

[Blank Page]

When I took this picture, I wasn't really thinking silhouette, but that's the way it turned out, I guess because I was shooting into the sun. This isn't the critique forum, but I'll accept any critiquing if that's okay.

The carpenter in this shot is the most fearless guy I know. Here, he's about 25 feet above the floor below him. He walks with no hesitation along the top of exterior walls six inches wide. I've also seen him walking on the tops of interior walls, 4 inches wide, with a truss slung over his shoulders. (A truss is one of the big triangular structures in this picture that form the shape of the roof.) It seems crazy but he's been doing this for many years -- he's in his forties now -- and he's still alive and in one piece.

Re: Fearless

Well I think it is a great pic, and the silhouette is a bonus, that is one of the jobs I used to do in my younger days.

Re: Fearless

Thanks Tinka. I like the silhouette effect too, though it seems to lack oomph of some kind that I can't quite put my finger on.

I'm not a carpenter, just helping a friend who's building a house. The guy in the picture is the real carpenter he hired, and my friend and I help him. He works on the house on weekends and occasioanl eveinings around his real job (he says this is his "fun job" ).
