Photo documentary of the Lobstering and Worming Industry in Down East, Maine by Steve VoseI was recently fortunate enough to be able to spend a few days with the wonderful people of Jonesport, Maine. During my stay, I was invited to job shadow a couple of the local residents in their daily work on the waters and flats of this great state and in the process have gained new found respect for these incredible individuals.

Those are some great pictures.Those guys work hard just to make a decent living.
I completely agree . . . I was exhausted at the end of the two days just trying to keep up with taking photos.
I tell you what rabid, it was absolutely enjoyable having you spend some time down east again and actually getting to participate in the self-employed industries of worming and lobstering... I often joke that there should be no reason for anybody in Washington County to be on welfare for there exists a drove of economic opportunities... people just need to put their nose to the grindstone but I fear it has become to easy for people to live the good life where everyday is Saturday... You show me a Republican on welfare and I'll quit my "extra" jobs... In all seriousness, I love my life and am proud of what I do... and I'm glad to say that I can spend my summers working alongside my father... There will be a day where those pictures will be priceless and I'll treasure them forever...
Had a great time buddy and look forward to your next post about your big trip...
