EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the moment of joy and accomplishment on the face of a young Fante boy from Sierra Leone, as he proudly holds up his freshly caught bounty of five sardines, at Goderich Beach in the late 1980s. The sun-kissed sands of the beach, located on the outskirts of Freetown, the capital city of Sierra Leone in West Africa, provide the perfect backdrop for this simple yet poignant scene. The boy's broad smile and the gleam in his eyes speak volumes about the satisfaction of a hard day's work and the anticipation of a hearty dinner with his family. The image transports us to a time when life was simpler, and the connection between people and nature was more profound. The boy's attire, consisting of a loose-fitting shirt and shorts, is typical of the clothing worn by the local people during that era. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and happiness of the people of Sierra Leone, despite the challenges they faced during that period. The image is a timeless reminder of the enduring bond between children and the natural world and the simple pleasures that come from a day spent fishing by the sea.
