EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a fisherman stands alone on Havana's seafront boulevard "El Malecon" holding a fishing rod attached to an unconventional float - inflated condoms. As the sun sets in the background, casting a warm orange glow across the horizon line, the scene becomes even more picturesque. Cuban fishermen have ingeniously resorted to using condoms as makeshift balloons for their fishing rigs due to limited access to traditional balloons. This creative use of resources showcases their resilience and adaptability in making do with what they have. The image captures the serene beauty of nature at dusk, with the fisherman silhouetted against the stunning backdrop of an open space. The atmosphere is tranquil and peaceful, allowing him to fully immerse himself in his work while surrounded by the great outdoors. Although unrecognizable from behind, we can sense his dedication and passion for fishing as he patiently waits for a catch. The composition highlights both his solitude and connection with nature – a solitary figure against an expansive seascape. Desmond Boylan's photograph encapsulates not only a unique aspect of Cuban society but also demonstrates how individuals can find innovative solutions when faced with limitations. It serves as a reminder that beauty can be found in unexpected places and that resourcefulness knows no bounds.
