EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a scene of daily life in rural Thailand during the 1950s. A line of women and children wade through the shallow waters of a small klong, or canal, each carrying a basket in their hands. The women are focused intently on their task, their expressions determined and serious as they dip their baskets into the water to trap the fish. The children follow closely behind, their small hands holding onto the edges of their mothers' baskets or reaching out to grab fish that have been caught. The scene is one of simple, communal labor, with the women working together to provide for their families. The straight line of figures stretching from one end of the klong to the other creates a sense of order and unity, while the reflections of the trees and foliage in the water add a serene and idyllic quality to the image. This photograph, taken in 1952, offers a glimpse into the past and the traditional way of life that once existed in rural Thailand.
