EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Goran Tomasevic, we witness a man engrossed in the timeless art of fishing along the picturesque shoreline of Alexandria. The image, taken on November 14,2010, showcases Egypt's second-largest city as an industrial hub and bustling port that handles a significant portion of the nation's trade. However, beyond its economic significance lies a deeper concern - Alexandria is one of the Middle East's cities most vulnerable to rising sea levels caused by global warming. As climate change continues to threaten our planet, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the environmental challenges faced by coastal communities worldwide. The solitary figure casting his line against the backdrop of shimmering waters symbolizes both resilience and fragility. While he finds solace in his age-old tradition amidst changing tides, it also highlights how individuals are intricately connected to their surroundings and bear witness to nature's delicate balance. Goran Tomasevic skillfully captures this juxtaposition between human activity and environmental vulnerability through his lens. His composition invites us to reflect upon our collective responsibility towards safeguarding these precious ecosystems for future generations. This powerful image not only documents a fleeting moment but also raises awareness about pressing societal and environmental issues. It reminds us that every action we take today can shape tomorrow's reality – urging us all to become stewards of our planet before it slips away like sand through our fingers.
