EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Francis Mascarenhas, we are transported to a bustling fishing village in Mumbai, India. The image showcases an age-old tradition of drying fish as they hang from bamboo poles against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. The low angle view allows us to appreciate the sheer abundance and variety of fish on display. The scene is teeming with life and activity, yet there are no people present, leaving room for our imagination to fill in the gaps. The creative use of space highlights the open environment and natural surroundings that play a vital role in the food processing industry. As we gaze at this mesmerizing sight, it becomes evident that every element within the frame has its purpose - from the sturdy bamboo poles serving as drying racks to the multiple fish carcasses swaying gently in unison. This harmonious arrangement not only reflects nature's bounty but also pays homage to centuries-old fishing practices passed down through generations. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how human beings coexist with their environment while relying on its resources for sustenance. It encapsulates both simplicity and complexity; an intricate web connecting man, animal, weather patterns, and traditional livelihoods. Through this powerful visual narrative, Francis Mascarenhas invites us into a world where time seems suspended - where ancient customs meet modernity under an expansive sky.
