As a textile designer and photography lover, I see patterns everywhere. In May 2017 I went on a fun sailing trip down the Chesapeake Bay to Tangier Island in Virginia and learned much about the local soft shell crab culture. I talked to the local watermen, observed their daily routine, and got to see for myself the huge effort that goes into their livelihood. And of course, I snapped photos everywhere I went! The crabs are beautiful in their colors (look at that blue!) and shapes. I hope to return to Tangier Island one day ... to learn even more.
