Enjoyed this awesome part of 'camp life'. Thanks for sharing this.

The fellow in the second and third photos looks like Mr. Edwards from "Little House on the Prairie".

Sympathize with guy in the second and third pic. Cant ever figure out those IKEA assembly instructions either.

The guy pouring out the bucket in the last photo is the very definition of "carrying coal to Newcastle."

I'm appreciating the seamstress impression.

These are shot candidly with a modern camera, in full acquiescence of the subjects and others there. So curious minds want to know: do you wear period attire; keeping your cameras in a period haversack until you pull them out to shoot?, or is that not your thing, instead just a contemporary guy with cameras slung on shoulder wandering the camps? Whatever it is, it's working great.*

* whether you or an automatic function of your camera, the depth-of-field is contained such that your subjects stand out well from what otherwise would be distractingly sharp and busy backgrounds. I'm guessing either auto "portrait" mode, or manually-set smaller aperture with adequate ISO, retaining a high enough shutter speed for hand-held / stop action.

Thank you ALL for the very kind words.
byron ed, after 9 years and now on my fourth cmaera, taking over 100,000 photos I believe I am starting to figure this out.
I am a contemporary guy, and stopped using the AUTO modes years ago.....

Given the artistry of your framing, your sense of the moment and your selective eye I didn't really think you'd be deferring to auto on the mechanical side, but as you know auto has gotten quite sophisticated in the latest generation of equipment so I thought I'd check. I do see the craft in your work. Any CW ball scenes?

That was Victor French. He was in a LOT of westerns and tv shows like Highway to Heaven

In the fourth photo it looks like they're carrying a chamber pot. I guess we all can't have the glamour jobs. And in the last two pics, what is that on the bottom of the guys shoes ?
