“There have been ups and downs with the lobstering off Cape Ann, but the lobsters have kept coming, and I’ve made a living every year. Today I still wouldn’t trade lobstering for any other job in the world, and if I had to do my life all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. In what other occupation can one simultaneously earn a living, be one’s own boss, work close to nature and be in sync with her rhythms and seasons, experience solitude (most of the time), and also get fresh air, exercise, and your own seafood?”
Peter Prybot lobsterman and fisheries photojournalist
