EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Gordon Parks in 1943, transports us to the bustling Fulton fish market in New York City. The image captures rows upon rows of wooden crates filled with fresh seafood, patiently waiting for delivery. The sheer magnitude of the scene is awe-inspiring as it stretches out into the distance. The composition beautifully highlights the architectural elements of the building that houses this vibrant marketplace. The crates are neatly stacked against its walls, creating a visual symphony of shapes and lines. In the foreground, a lorry stands ready to transport these precious cargo boxes to their final destinations across the country. Parks' masterful use of black and white film adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from America's past. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when trade and transportation were vital aspects of daily life. This photograph not only documents an important moment in history but also serves as a testament to Parks' talent as a photographer. As we gaze at this still image frozen in time, we can almost smell the salty sea air and hear the sounds of bustling activity that once filled this iconic fish market. It reminds us that behind every meal on our plates lies an intricate network connecting fishermen, markets, and consumers - all working together to bring food from sea to table.
