Robert Burns Blacksmith

I met Robert at the North House Folk School in Grand Marais, Minnesota. He was gracious to pose for an environmental portrait. I was grateful for Robert's patience; the hot steel he was holding, he said, was about 1600 degrees and very hot without gloves. The room shows his tools on the back wall and the portable oven to his right.
