Best cameras and lenses

Keep on running...

Challenge #17 in the SNAP !! series. Hosted by timhughes666, One eyed Bart.

Challenge has finished

This is NOT a people running about the image challenge. What it is is an environmental portrait of the guy or gal that keeps our primary modes of transport up and running. The mechanic. Make sure you capture them in the environment that they do their work. Pay attention to the whole of the frame not just the subject. In other words you need to see the man and his recognisable work space/tools of his trade etc.

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

No naked mechanics. No mechanics dissecting horses, elephants, oxen, donkeys, dogs, etc, Show them fixing the cart or the sled instead.
No mechanics beating up other mechanics, surly customers or vise versa.
Political statements about your mechanic will be entertained and are encouraged.
The man that fixes your shoes is a mechanic of sorts and will be allowed as walking could be considered a primary mode of transport for some.
