EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Biju Boro, we are transported to the serene banks of the Brahmaputra River in Guwahati, India. As the sun sets on October 31,2016, casting a warm golden glow across the horizon, an Indian fisherman finds solace in his small boat. Silhouetted against the vibrant hues of dusk, he sits patiently with his fishing gear at hand. The Brahmaputra River holds great significance as it originates in Tibet and flows through India before merging with the Bay of Bengal through Bangladesh. Along its course lies a lifeline for hundreds of thousands who depend on fishing for their livelihoods. This image beautifully captures a moment from their daily lives. The tranquility emanating from this offbeat scene is palpable; it speaks volumes about the simplicity and resilience of those living along these riverbanks. The fisherman's silhouette symbolizes not only his dedication but also represents countless others who rely on nature's bounty to sustain themselves and their families. Boro's expert composition skillfully highlights both natural beauty and human perseverance. Through this photograph, we are reminded of how interconnected our world truly is – where rivers like the Brahmaputra weave together diverse cultures and provide sustenance to communities that thrive alongside them. This AFP print serves as a powerful reminder that amidst life's hustle and bustle, there exist pockets of serenity where individuals find harmony with nature while pursuing their humble occupations.
