EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Gisenyi, Rwanda" we are transported to the serene shores of Lake Kivu at dusk. The image captures a group of night fishermen as they embark on their journey across the calm waters in specially adapted boats. Located in East Africa, Gisenyi is a rural town nestled along the equator and surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. Here, fishing is not only an industry but also a way of life for many locals who rely on the lake's abundant resources for sustenance and livelihood. As darkness descends upon the horizon, these skilled fishermen venture out into the deep blue expanse armed with their traditional tools and knowledge passed down through generations. Their boats have been meticulously crafted to navigate these waters with ease, allowing them to reach prime fishing spots under cover of night. This image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and resilience of sub-Saharan Africa. It showcases both the simplicity and complexity of life in this region where agriculture meets water-based industries like fishing. The photographer behind this stunning shot remains anonymous but has expertly captured a moment that encapsulates both tranquility and determination. This print serves as a reminder of humanity's connection to nature and our ability to adapt to our surroundings in order to thrive.
