EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a weary lobster fisherman concludes his day's work on the River Dee in Kirkcudbright, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. With the sun setting in the distance, casting a golden glow over the scene, the fisherman leaves his small boat tender at the water's edge and begins the arduous climb up the steep, muddy bank. He carries the day's catch, a testament to his hard work, balanced carefully on one shoulder, while his pair of oars slung over his back. The silhouette of Kirkcudbright town, with its distinctive castle and Tolbooth, can be seen in the background. The bridge spanning the river adds to the picturesque tableau. The low water and fading tide reveal the riverbed, its texture enhanced by the shining mud. The fisherman, a longshoreman in the truest sense, has spent his day rowing against the current, navigating the ebb and flow of the tide to reach the best fishing spots. His dedication and perseverance are evident in the heavy load he now carries. The sun's last rays illuminate the scene, casting long shadows and adding a sense of tranquility to the moment. This photograph, taken in 2010, captures the essence of a traditional way of life along the River Dee. It is a poignant reminder of the connection between the fisherman, the river, and the land, and the daily rhythm of work and life in this beautiful corner of Scotland.
