Going Home; The Whites of Their Eyes

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white portrait captures a poignant moment in time, frozen forever on the shores of Lake Edward in Uganda. Taken by the talented Thurston Hopkins for Picture Post magazine in December 1951, this print tells a story of family, culture, and the journey back home after a fishing trip. In this vertical composition, we see a group of individuals making their way along a dusty track towards their humble abode. The rear view perspective allows us to witness the balance between males and females as they carry baskets filled with their day's catch. A baby nestled safely in its mother's arms adds an element of tenderness to the scene. The stark contrast between light and shadow enhances the timeless quality of this archival image. It transports us back to a different era when life was simpler yet full of challenges. Through Hopkins' lens, we glimpse into the lives of ordinary people living amidst extraordinary landscapes. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded that it is not just about capturing moments but also preserving cultures and human interest stories. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical document from 1950s Africa. "Going Home; The Whites of Their Eyes" invites us to reflect on our own journeys - physical or metaphorical - as well as appreciate the beauty found within everyday moments shared by families around the world.
