EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a retired French fisherman, identified as Philip Dunn, is seen deeply engrossed in his pastime by the tranquil banks of the Loire River near the picturesque village of Saint-Mathurin-sur-Loire, France. The year is 1988, and the 80s are in full swing. Dunn, wearing a traditional beret, deftly handles his fishing yarn, his expression one of intense concentration and enjoyment. The Loire River, the longest in France, meanders gently behind him, its glassy surface reflecting the sun-dappled trees on the opposite bank. The scene is one of peace and independence, a simple pleasure that has likely brought Dunn much joy throughout his retirement. The fisherman's connection to the river is palpable, as he seems to be in harmony with the natural world around him. The photograph, taken in the 1980s, captures a moment of quiet reflection and contentment, a testament to the enduring appeal of fishing as a pastime. This image, published in The Sunday Times in 1988, is a poignant reminder of the simple pleasures that can be found in the natural world and the independence that comes with pursuing them.
