EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the expansive sands of Morecambe Bay in Cumbria, England, during the 1990s, shrimp fisherman Bob Dickinson went about his daily routine, utilizing traditional methods to catch shrimps at low tide. The photograph, taken in 1993, captures a moment of tranquility and simplicity as Dickinson skillfully uses a hand net to scoop up the small crustaceans from the shallow waters. Morecambe Bay, known for its rich shellfish population, has been a source of livelihood for generations of fishermen like Dickinson. The tidal bay, with its ever-changing coastline, presents unique challenges to the fishermen, requiring them to be attuned to the rhythms of the sea. The shrimps, a popular and nutritious food source, are highly sought after in the culinary world, making this humble occupation an essential part of the local economy and culture. This image, with its timeless quality, offers a glimpse into the life of a dedicated shrimp fisherman, as he goes about his daily work on the shores of Flookborough, Cumbria.
