EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Arif Ali from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to the bustling city of Lahore in Pakistan on the last day of 2014. As the sun sets, casting a warm golden glow over the landscape, our attention is drawn to a humble Pakistani rag-picker making his way across a bridge. With determination etched on his face, he carries a heavy bag filled with recyclables slung over his shoulder. This poignant image serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength that exists within individuals who often go unnoticed in society. Despite their challenging circumstances, they continue to work tirelessly to make ends meet and contribute towards sustainable practices. The composition of this photograph is truly striking; it beautifully captures both the serenity of nature's farewell for the year and the stark reality faced by many marginalized communities around the world. The vertical orientation adds depth and emphasizes the height of both physical structures and human aspirations. Arif Ali's skillful lens not only freezes an ordinary moment but also invites us to reflect upon our own lives. It prompts us to appreciate small acts of perseverance amidst adversity while urging us towards greater compassion for those living on society's fringes. Without mentioning commercial use or any specific company, this evocative print stands as an enduring testament to humanity's ability to find hope even in seemingly insurmountable circumstances.
