This fisherman brings his catch to a location in Blue Hill, Maine where he sells it from his truck. Although the temperatures are very frigid, far below freezing, he is there every day. The name of his business, as you can see, is "Half-A-Chance." It is also the name of his fishing boat which my husband lettered for him. This is one example of how hard Maine fishermen do work for their money. It is a very rough life, and certainly not for the weak. These men come from a very stoic and hearty breed. I admire them greatly for the effort they put into making a living for themselves and their families.

A very cold and wet job. I no longer complain when I see the price of lobster because of that. A great entry.

Without the story the pictures meaning would be feeble, but the story brings greater understanding to the picture and its subject.
