ZIPPER is a hard boat to photograph.

I've tried a few lights. Nothing special. The red clapboard background, usually a plus, doesn't give an all bright boat much contrast.

Finally, a little light breaks through, but what is that guy doing? When's he going to move? Is that a buffer or an iphone? Did he have to wear a red coat...

It is an iphone and his name is Jon. He may be teaching a class here in town. A fine art photographer lost in the bright mahogany. We're seeing different photo worlds with ZIPPER.

After talking to him for some time, I went down the docks, laid down, unscrewed my lens, and took this shot. I like this better.
