#756. Taffy Puller

Taken at LaKing's Confectionery in Galveston, Texas. "Pulling" is a key part of making taffy. This looks to be a difficult job if done by hand; luckily LaKing's pulling machine survived hurricane Ike.

#750. Taffy #1, #2, #3

Taken yesterday at LaKing's Confectionery located at 2323 Strand

#699. Craftsman at Work

Another shot taken this past weekend while on the Bay Area Photo Club's field trip to Galveston for location portrait work. This wasn't one of the models that were recruited for the event but rather a gentleman who works for Gately Paper Company where the shoot took place. He was nice enough to allow me to take a few snaps of him while he practiced some fishing rod repairs.
