EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a group of Sri Lankan pole fishermen are silhouetted against the early morning sun as they patiently wait for their catch along the coastal waters near Galle, Sri Lanka. Dating back to the 1990s, this image captures the traditional fishing technique known as stilt fishing, which involves balancing on narrow wooden poles driven into the shallow seawater. The scene unfolds at dawn, with the first light of day illuminating the tranquil waters and casting long shadows over the fishermen and their simple fishing gear. The men, dressed in traditional clothing, are focused intently on their work, their expressions reflecting the quiet determination and patience required for this ancient fishing method. The pole fishermen of Sri Lanka have practiced their craft for generations, relying on the bountiful marine life of the Indian Ocean to provide for their communities. With their nets and poles, they skillfully navigate the surf, balancing precariously on the stilts as they wait for the fish to bite. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of these dedicated fishermen, who continue to practice their traditional techniques in the face of modernization and changing times. The image captures the beauty and simplicity of their way of life, as well as the raw power and majesty of the sea that sustains them. Taken in 1994, this photograph is a testament to the enduring traditions and resilience of the people of Sri Lanka, and a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world for future generations.
