OK, maybe he's really a stockbroker or teacher or something, but this guy photographed by Jeff Tamagini this past weekend at the Fishermen's Feast in the North End sure looked like he could jump into a dorry and haul some traps up.

Of course, what would a feast be without food? Photographynatalia also attended the feast:

NorthendWaterfront.com provides the video of the start of the Fisherman's Feast. Although there aren't any fishing boats there anymore, there used to be.

A feast takes all kinds

Jeff Tamagini took in the St. Agrippina Feast in the North End this weekend and captured, among other things, one of the marching bands. Paul Keleher was there, too, and also had his camera out, so he could show us a vendor that probably doesn't want you staring at the goods too long:

Ed O'Connor watched as volunteers got the statue of St. Anthony ready for a procession through the North End last night.

Jen Stewart was there with camera - and got to witness a brawl in front of Mike's Pastries:

... Best I could tell, one woman was accusing another woman of hitting her in the stomach 'on purpose', and the other woman was screaming back at the first woman. I guess the first woman then lunged at the other woman, and next thing I know, the second woman's Extremely Big and Scary boyfriend/husband had his hands around the first woman's throat, until HER boyfriend/husband intervened. Luckily, it all lasted about 15 seconds before it broke up and the second couple moved on down the street, calling insults over their shoulders as they went. ...

Angela has more photos (of the feast, not the brawl).
