EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph by Alex Treadway captures the essence of traditional fishing in Shan State, Myanmar. The image showcases a skilled basket fisherman who has successfully trapped his catch within the intricately woven basket. With expertise and precision, he employs a long spike to surround the fish with a net, ensuring they remain secure. Set against the backdrop of clear blue waters and under a cloudless sky, this snapshot provides an authentic glimpse into Myanmar's rich culture and age-old traditions. The fisherman stands tall in his traditional clothing, donning an Asian-style conical hat made of straw that shields him from the sun's rays. The composition highlights not only the fisherman's mastery but also his reliance on nature for transportation. A dugout canoe rests nearby as a symbol of his connection to waterways that have sustained generations before him. In this moment frozen in time, we witness one man's dedication to preserving tradition while providing sustenance for himself and others. It serves as a reminder of how deeply rooted cultural practices can shape our understanding of different regions around the world. Alex Treadway skillfully captures this scene through vibrant colors and impeccable framing, inviting viewers to embark on their own visual journey through Myanmar's enchanting landscapes and timeless customs.
