EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a young boy leans casually against his three-wheeled mobile food stall, situated on the quayside of Roman Harbour in Anatalya, Southern Turkey. The image, captured in 1985, portrays a moment of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of the Mediterranean coast. The scene is backlit, with the setting sun casting a warm, golden glow over the harbor, creating a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere. The boy, dressed in simple clothing typical of the region, appears to be taking a break from his work as a stallholder. He gazes off into the distance, seemingly lost in thought, as the last rays of sunlight filter through the air. The three-wheeled food stall, a common sight in Turkish coastal towns, is adorned with colorful fabrics and various foodstuffs, adding to the vibrant and inviting scene. The photograph, taken in the early evening, captures the unique contrast between the fading sunlight and the cool, calming waters of the Mediterranean. The backlit image showcases the intricacies of the harbor's architecture, with the ancient ruins of Roman Anatalya visible in the background. The overall effect is one of timeless beauty and serenity, encapsulating the essence of the Turquoise Coast and the Mediterranean way of life. This photograph is an exquisite example of the power of light and shadow in photography, and the ability of a single image to transport the viewer to another place and time. It offers a glimpse into the daily life of a young boy in Anatalya during the 1980s, and serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring charm of the Mediterranean region.
