EDITORS COMMENTS
Franasco Parisi, the youngest member of the Aldens crew, directs the skipper to hoist the large dip net over the side of their fishing boat in this photograph captured by Gordon Parks. Taken in 1943, during a pivotal time in American history, this image showcases not only the hard work and dedication of fishermen but also highlights the fashion and style of that era. Dressed in traditional fishing attire, Franasco stands confidently on deck as he gestures towards his fellow crew members. The crisp lines and contrasting tones of black and white add depth to this timeless snapshot. Parks' keen eye for detail captures every nuance, from Franasco's determined expression to the intricate patterns on his clothing. This photograph is part of Parks' extensive collection housed at the Library of Congress. As an acclaimed photographer working for both Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), Parks documented various aspects of American life during that period. The image serves as a testament to America's rich maritime heritage while offering a glimpse into daily life aboard a fishing trawler. It reminds us of our connection with nature's bounty as well as honoring those who have dedicated their lives to providing food for our tables. Gordon Parks' masterful composition immortalizes Franasco Parisi's role within Aldens crew, capturing a moment frozen in time.
