This photograph, titled "Badjuni Islands, catching suckerfish" transports us back to the enchanting shores of Somalia's Badjuni Islands in 1972. Through the lens of renowned photographer Folco Quilici, we are granted a glimpse into a moment frozen in time. The image captures a group of local fishermen engaged in their age-old tradition of catching suckerfish. The scene is filled with raw energy and determination as these skilled individuals navigate the crystal-clear waters with expertise honed over generations. Their weathered faces tell tales of resilience and unwavering dedication to their craft. Quilici's masterful composition draws our attention to the interplay between light and shadow, accentuating every ripple on the water's surface.

It serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's deep connection with nature – how communities have relied on bountiful seas for sustenance throughout history. In this single frame, Quilici manages to encapsulate not only a specific time and place but also an entire way of life that has been shaped by centuries-old traditions passed down through countless generations. It invites us to reflect on our own relationship with nature, urging us to appreciate its beauty while recognizing our responsibility towards its preservation. "Badjuni Islands, catching suckerfish" is more than just a photograph; it is an invitation to immerse ourselves in another world – one where simplicity reigns supreme amidst untamed landscapes.
