What a catch! #BeaverIsland (Photo Property of: Beaver Island News on the Net)"

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A bearded man wearing a knit cap, blue sunglasses, a red hooded sweatshirt, and black bib overalls holds a large fish by its mouth. Ice and open water are visible behind him, with a low tree line beneath a clear blue sky.

A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Subjects and keywords

Taken from the record

Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.

The catalogue caption, posted February 21, 2017, identifies the man as Beaver Island Boat Company's captain Brian Antkoviak and claims he won first place in the Walleye Division of a fishing tournament the preceding weekend. The caption credits the photograph to Beaver Island News on the Net.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The fish species and any text on the knit cap cannot be confirmed from the image alone.

Why this archive publishes it. Public Facebook groups and pages run by island organisations and residents. Each item credits the poster by name and links to the original post. Removal on request.

Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.

Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
