EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a typical fishing scene along the coast of Sri Lanka in the 1990s. The image features a barefoot, ragged, and skinny boatman, wearing a big floppy cap, sitting on the beached fishing boat at Galle. His lean frame and weathered features bear the marks of a life spent toiling on the sea. The boat, with its faded paint and frayed nets, mirrors the worn-out appearance of its owner. The palm trees lining the beach add a touch of paradise to the scene, their lush green leaves contrasting sharply with the ruggedness of the boat and the man. The coastline stretches out behind the boatman, dotted with similar boats and fishermen, all engaged in their daily routine. The boatman's weathered face, creased with lines and wrinkles, tells a story of a life spent in the harsh elements, battling the sea and the elements to provide for himself and his family. His hands, calloused and worn, are a testament to his hard work and determination. Despite his ragged appearance, there is a sense of dignity and character about the man. He is a vagabond of the sea, a scarecrow-like figure that stands out against the backdrop of the palm-fringed beach. The fish he has caught, lying next to him, are a reminder of his successes and the sustenance he provides for his community. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the simple yet resilient lives of the fishermen of Sri Lanka, who continue to eke out a living from the sea, undeterred by the challenges of the elements and the passage of time. It is a portrait of a mature man, Ben Gunn, who embodies the spirit of the people of this beautiful island nation.
