I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.

Man in a box.
+Natosha Davis I guess linemen have to maintain their weight…
Less than 400 lbs for sure
Maybe I should have added lyrics to "Wichita Lineman"
a great photo of a person doing something helpful other than posing.
good work.
+duane anderson Agree, he was really working. I was glad when they finally got there. Power had been off for many days.
I used to watch my neighbor go off to work for days on end during hurricane season. Even when his own power was out for weeks at a time.
If that 'Cap' is 400 lbs, I wonder how much he weighs in total 😉
