As part of a multi-image series, photographer Wilson Baker took images documenting what local waterfront industry is like. Many of his photos place one right there on the boat, or in the gutting house. This photo in particular really puts one with the workers. In this image, we see a man hauling crabs over the side, or at least that's what it looks. The slightly prolonged exposure is what really puts one in the image: the mans hands are blurred as well as some of the crabs waiting to meet their fate. Because of this blurring, it gives the viewer the feeling of motion, and that if this were a video it would suddenly play into actual work and motion in real time action. And photos that can take one and place them directly into the scene are photos to be considered worthy of praise.
