EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the early morning scene of Sri Lankan pole fishermen at work off the coast near Galle. Dating back to the 1990s, this image showcases the traditional and patient method of stilt fishing that has been practiced in Sri Lanka for generations. The fishermen, silhouetted against the rising sun, are seen balancing precariously on stilts, each with a long pole in hand, and a net suspended below. The tranquil surf laps gently against the shore, creating a serene atmosphere that belies the hard work and dedication required to catch their daily catch. The coastal location, with its rugged cliffs and vast expanse of sea, adds to the sense of isolation and solitude, as the fishermen wait for the right moment to cast their lines. The patience and skill required to master this ancient fishing technique is evident in their focused expressions and still, steady postures. This photograph is a testament to the enduring traditions and resilience of the Sri Lankan fishing community, and the connection they have to the sea and the rhythms of nature. The image, taken in 1994, is a poignant reminder of the simple yet profound beauty of daily life along the coast of this beautiful island nation.
