EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Boats, village at old harbour, Sunda Kelapa, Jakarta, Indonesia" transports viewers to the heart of Southeast Asia's bustling capital city. The image captures a picturesque scene of an old fishing village nestled along the dockside of Sunda Kelapa harbor. The vibrant colors and reflections in the water create a mesmerizing visual spectacle. The dilapidated boats floating on the river tell tales of a once-thriving maritime industry now neglected and overshadowed by modern transportation methods. Despite their worn-out appearance, these boats still serve as a vital means of transportation for locals navigating through Jakarta's waterways. However, amidst this rustic charm lies an unfortunate reality - pollution and smog have cast their dark shadow over this otherwise idyllic setting. The grubby surroundings are evidence of the challenges faced by this community as they strive to preserve their way of life in an ever-changing world. Photographer Rod Porteous skillfully captures both the beauty and struggles present in this corner of Southeast Asia. Through his lens, we are transported to a place where tradition meets modernity, where old wooden boats coexist with towering skyscrapers. This stunning photograph serves as a reminder that even within urban landscapes like Jakarta, there is still room for reflection on our connection with nature and our responsibility towards preserving it for future generations.
