Portrait of a fisherman

This is the second photograph I've taken featuring this guy.

Seeing as I was down by the harbour anyway this afternoon (on a walk, not like some friendless creep who hangs around the swings all day), I thought I'd go over and ask him for advice on a few ideas I had about photographing the local fishermen at work. Unfortunately this project isn't possible, what with the bureaucratic nightmare of health & safety insurance.

Apparently the harbour master oversees all the returning lobster boats to make sure people like me aren't poncing around on board. I'd probably just get in the way anyway: I'd get my foot stuck in a lobster pot, or something. Maybe puke on some crabs.
