Artist's Comments

For those of you who don't know, I work on the NOAA Ship Fairweather. We work, mostly, in South East Alaska. Right now we are anchored in Fools Inlet and this is one of our Bosons, Ron Walker.

Thank you Yvonne! I'm really glad you liked it. I thought it was a good representation of where I'm at, and my brother liked it, which is saying something. He's always a tough critic.

A boson, my friend, is the person that is in charge of the deck personal on a ship. It is the highest position that a person can achieve in the deck department. Bosons are usually people that have been at it for a long time and are generally *very* highly experienced ship personal.

It's a very nice picture. :)

I like how you kind of half see reflection in the water but can't quite tell what it is. (I think it are just clouds anyway) I also like the clouds it's really fitting for the picture. It's nice how you have some dark areas and some lighter ones, so you really use the whole greyscale and not just a part of it.

Because the man is about as dark as the background there he pretty much blends in. I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing or neither though. I think it's nice because he's not distracting, but maybe it would have been nice too if he stood out.

Thanks for the thoughts. You're right the guy should be better exposed. There just wasn't enough light behind me so if I corrected for that digitally, it blew out the sky. I eventually just came to this compromise.
