This man was demonstrating his craft at a September festival. I'm posting his picture now for the current City Daily Photo theme: Worker. Handwoven baskets are a popular gift item here in the Shenandoah Valley. I did not ask the gentleman if this is a full-time occupation, but in my imaginary scenario he is semi-retired and supplements his income with selling these at craft shows and through shops specializing in Virginia-made products.

ReplyDeleteGreat photos, I really like the traditional crafts !!
ReplyDeleteHe looks quite content. I couldn't imagine doing that myself!
ReplyDeleteGood to see that things are HANDMADE.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful baskets! I love to get things that are hand made. I think they last much longer and I also like to buy local if I can.
ReplyDeleteA real craftsman!

Love baskets. They are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCraftsman, for sure.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking that my retirement hobby of photography is a heckuva lot easier than weaving baskets.
ReplyDeleteThose baskets are really great looking!
