EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Sergei Gapon, we are transported to the serene village of Krevo in Belarus. Against a backdrop of rolling farmland, a man gracefully guides a flock of geese on their leisurely walk. The image exudes a sense of tranquility and harmony between humans and animals. The simplicity and beauty of rural life unfold before our eyes as we witness the timeless tradition of shepherding geese. With each step, the man leads his feathered companions through fields that stretch as far as the eye can see. The geese follow obediently, their collective movement creating an enchanting sight. This photograph is not merely about agriculture or farms; it encapsulates something deeper—the connection between mankind and nature. It reminds us that despite technological advancements and urbanization, there are still pockets where traditions endure, reminding us of our roots. Gapon's composition captures the essence of this moment perfectly—its horizontal frame emphasizing both vastness and serenity. As viewers, we become immersed in this scene: feeling the crisp autumn air against our skin, hearing the soft rustling sounds made by geese walking on fallen leaves. Ultimately, Gapon's work invites contemplation—a gentle reminder to appreciate simpler moments amidst our fast-paced lives. It serves as an ode to those who continue to shepherd traditions forward while embracing nature's wonders along the way.
