Description

This scene is dense with fog. The sky is completely gray and fog obstructs objects in the distance. The clammer is wearing black gloves and is using a hod that has a metal basket and wooden handle. The mud is even in texture on the surface and medium brown in color. An occasional shell or other various matter dot the surface. The mud is wet and soupy with a watery coverage. The clammer is holding the hod in their left hand while picking clams out of the mud with their right. They seem to make a cupping motion with their fingers, their palm facing the camera, and pull out clams with swiftness. Footprints of other clammers surround the clammer in looping trails. The clammer seems to glide over the mud, never letting their boots sink too deeply before picking a spot to pull from. They pick the inside of the loops that are created by other clammers. The clammer continues to an area that is much less covered by footprints. They seem to follow a similar pulling orientation in that they pull with their right hand at a spot that is near the top right corner of their hod. Through the dense fog, dark segments of land emerge in the distance. They frequently raise their right arm to dump water out of their glove. Clams are piling up in the clammer’s hod, which now reveal their dark shell color after a good portion of mud has been washed away from them. As the clammer travels, clouds of dirt drift beneath the water’s surface that have been brushed up by the clammer’s feet and their hod.
