Yesterday I had some work done in my back-yard. I hired a contractor to level out some land and Grass seed the area.
He turned up with this contraption for sowing the grass seed, I had seen one some years ago. I found it a fascinating and beautiful tool.
THE "AERO" BROARDCASTER AND SEED SOWER.
I had to photograph him using it !
I wanted to create an aged look so converted to black and white.

Any comments and or suggestions would be great.

this is very cool. I like the b&w here. I've never seen such a contraption.

Thank you for the memories. Forgotten all about using one of them. Must be 40 years ago and I thought it was old then.

That is awesome! Fiddler by night seed sower by day? Those old tools had their own magic. Love the B&W here as well. Great photo, Ihos!

I think you've done well here. You've caught the action and concentration in a nice composition.
