A helping hand

Mervin Swearingen let me take his photo at the Helix Booster Club Crab Feed Thursday afternoon. I used another photo of him dumping steaming shrimp into a pan Friday's paper. I also liked this photo, but couldn't use it for the paper because it's not readily obvious what he's doing (dumping a bag of frozen shrimp into the steamer).

However, I really liked the perspective on this one, with his hands up close. I also liked the way the afternoon sunshine lit up his face. It's always nice to see volunteers helping out, and willing to have their picture in the paper.
