This is Crawford, a fisherman with more interesting stories than a library. I had gone down to our breakwater when i got home from a trip and decided i needed to get out and went down here(my first time in at least 5 years). and i was taking photos on the breakwater when i saw this gentleman on the side of hte breakwater. i ran as fast and safe as i could to get down there. Explained who i was and that im a local photographer and that he would be perfect for my shot. He happily agreed to be in the photo. after i took some shots i spent over an hour there just talking with him about fishing and how peaceful it is and was out that day. i was going to help him Gaff in a big fish if he caught one but after a while i got the call from my mom telling me its dinner time so i didn't have hte pleasure of helping him catch "the big one". I think this was one of my best photographic expierences of my life and i honestly could care less what this scores, im merely entering this to share with you all my new friend Crawford, and his Haven.

You know, whenever you see this image in the future you'll remember Craven, the beauty of the morning, smell the sea.........that's wonderful! Lovely story and image.
Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two now and I'm running late, sorry.
