Traditional craftsmen

This weaver was working with the man pictured below. I have another picture focusing more on his face, but I loved the rustic loom so am posting this one instead.

I uploaded quite a few images today as I have a day off from work (!) and actually have had some time to process pictures. I'm also trying to finish up Day 1 at the festival as I still have Day 2 to go, and there was an awful lot to see!

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
1/125s f/5.6 at 24.0mm iso6400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

The old loom is truly amazing compared to what is done commercially today!
