Labor, a photo from Kastamonu, Black Sea

Photographer's Note

This shot belongs to my Pinarbasi visit- a small town in blacksea region.

Labor subject has always been attractive for photographers.Also for me.

There is a cycle of earnig and spending. Whatever shape it takes, all we stand on this basis.

Some use brain power, some have to use muscles. I am not sure even if this equation is fair or not. Muscle users might be cleverer than others but it does not matter in such cases.

And life goes on.

Hi, Figen.
Delicious photograph about working man.
I like the light : just some contours of his face.
Good compo, good work.
Best regards. Grazyna.

Hello Figen,
A great capture of a man at work. I agree that this is always an important motif for photographers. There are so many interesting details to watch in this old workshop. I only wish I could have seen a little bit more of the man's face.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Figen,
I should visit your gallery more, it is fantastic. The use of light here, so well hunted, and it gives great detail and contrast. Masterful, like a painter. It adds to the feeling of concentration of his working expression.
Regards
Justin

Merhaba Figen.
Excellent "man at work" theme contribution. Amazing B&W tones.
Regards.

Hello Figen,

I love the theme and this is a fine man-at-work shot. The bl/w works great, though I'd like to see the colour version too. The strongest element in the shot for me is not the welding, but the line of screwdrivers on the wall, that is so strong... The man is another powerful presence, obviously, though I'd have prefered to see a bit more light on his face.

Fine work.

Benny

Adamın y凴𤦂e d�şen belli belirsiz ışığı sevdim. Tam sevdiğim gibi siyah beyaz g𤦂l悞 yaşam karesi... よk g凴el 蔒kmişsin. (Belki bir tek adamın iş elbisesi ve elleri ile ilgili 蔞k azıcık daha detay g顤meyi dileyebilirdim ama belki de m悳k𤦂 değildi.)
Sevgiler,
