EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of traditional fishing in Santa Maria, Sal Island, Cape Verde. Against a backdrop of clear blue skies and turquoise waters, a skilled fisherman proudly displays his bountiful catch aboard a charming wooden fishing boat. The vibrant colors of this vertical image bring to life the rich African culture and traditions that thrive on this Atlantic island. The lone fisherman stands tall, showcasing the fruits of his labor with an array of fish neatly arranged at his feet. Dressed casually in typical African attire and barefooted, he exudes authenticity as he carries out his daily work routine. The moored boat serves as both transportation and workplace for these hardworking individuals who rely on the sea for their livelihoods. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported to a place where time seems to stand still - where tradition meets modernity against the picturesque coastline. The incidental people in the background add depth to the composition while emphasizing that this is not just any tourist destination but rather an authentic experience rooted in local life. Neale Clark's skillful photography beautifully encapsulates all these elements, allowing us to appreciate not only the stunning natural beauty but also gain insight into Cape Verdean culture through its hardworking fishermen. This print serves as a reminder that there are still places where ancient customs thrive harmoniously with contemporary existence – making it an ideal addition for any travel enthusiast or lover of cultural exploration.
