Last Man Standing

According to my sources, this guy is the last fisherman left in Ios. Everyone else here earns a living from the tourist business in the summer months. I guess it makes sense. I mean why bust your butt fishing all year when you can work hard for a few months then take the rest of the year off? Still, you have to admire this guy for being "old school" and not sucking up to the tourists. As you can imagine, he wasn't very happy when I asked if I could take his picture. He initially muttered something under his breath in Greek which must have been the English equivalent of "f*** off." He then reluctantly agreed.
