A New Day: Living Life Almost Gracefully 
Yep fur does look better on its original owner, but this is a fascinating study in concentration

This is a wonderful photograph, full of personality and seeming almost like a moment from another time. Good catch, Pat. Thanks for joining us in this. We look forward to doing more with you when you are ready.
Warmest regards,

I must admit this chills me. I think fur looks better on the animal who grew it.

I felt the same – but he was passionate about his work. He said that his biggest sellers were gloves made from the fur pelts – bought by women with severe arthritis. They keep their hands warm and thus reduces pain. I don’t have a problem if the fur comes from an animal that was killed for sustenance, but I don’t like the idea of killing just for the hides.

I’m very curious about this picture: I’m a costumed interpreter at a living history museum myself, so I have lots of questions for this man! I imagine the conversation we would have. I like how you captured him at work with the evidence of his trade right behind him. He looks like he spends a lot of time outdoors and has many tales to tell. Great shot!

Thanks. He is from Canada and belongs to the Hudson Bay Fur Company. He was working on a quiver.
