EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait captured by the talented photographer Chris Ware, we are transported back to 1964 in Toulon, France. The image showcases two French sailors standing at a bustling sandwich stall, their backs turned towards us as they indulge in a quick meal. The composition of the photograph is strikingly beautiful in its simplicity. The stark contrast of black and white enhances the timeless quality of the scene, allowing us to focus on the details that tell a story. We can almost feel the energy and excitement surrounding these sailors as they take a momentary break from their duties. Their navy uniforms serve as a reminder of their noble profession while also adding an element of elegance to the overall aesthetic. These young men represent not only themselves but also symbolize the dedication and bravery exhibited by all those who serve in uniform. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, our imagination takes flight, wondering about their conversations or what brought them to this particular sandwich stall on that day. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst duty and responsibility, there is always time for simple pleasures like enjoying good food with comrades. Chris Ware's masterful capture transports us through time and space, inviting us into this intimate moment shared between two French sailors in Toulon. It reminds us of our shared humanity across cultures and generations—a testament to both his skill behind the lens and his ability to evoke emotion through photography.
