EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, taken in the early 1990s, we see the picturesque harbor of Bermeo, a historic fishing town located on the northern coast of Spain, in the Basque Country. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, as a lone man walks past the moored fishing trawlers, their nets and gear neatly stacked on the quayside. The boats, with their distinctive hulls and tall masts, are silhouetted against the moody, overcast sky, adding to the sense of timelessness and tradition. The fishermen of Bermeo have been plying their trade for centuries, and the town's rich maritime history is deeply intertwined with its identity. The photograph captures the daily routine of the fishermen, as they prepare their boats for the day's catch. The man in the foreground, dressed in a heavy fisherman's sweater and wearing a scarf around his neck, carries a cigarette in one hand and a rope in the other, a common sight in the fishing communities of the Basque Country. The tranquil scene is a stark contrast to the bustling activity that would have taken place on the quayside earlier in the day, as the fishermen unloaded their catches and sold their fish to the local market. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of this historic fishing community, and serves as a reminder of the important role that the sea and its resources have played in the lives of people in this part of Spain for generations. This photograph, taken by the renowned photographer Philip Dunn, is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the connection between the people of Bermeo and the sea, and the enduring traditions that have shaped their community for centuries. The image is a testament to the power of photography to capture a moment in time and preserve it for future generations to appreciate.
