EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Rodger Bosch, we witness a heartwarming scene unfolding in the sandy outskirts of Cape Town. A group of young boys, their faces beaming with joy and excitement, make their way back up a towering sand dune after an exhilarating session of sandsurfing near Atlantis. These boys, hailing from poverty-stricken backgrounds and residing in a gang-ridden area, find solace and respite from their challenging lives through this weekly outing organized by local sandsurfing operator Derek Bredenkamp. The contrast between their usual hardships and the freedom they experience while gliding down these golden slopes is striking. The image serves as a powerful reminder that amidst adversity, there are moments of pure bliss that can transcend circumstances. As the sun casts its warm glow on the boys' determined faces, one cannot help but feel inspired by their resilience and ability to find happiness even in the most unlikely places. Rodger Bosch's skillful composition captures not only the physical beauty of this unique landscape but also manages to convey the emotional depth behind each boy's journey. It is a testament to both his talent as a photographer and his commitment to shedding light on stories often overlooked. This photograph encapsulates hope; it reminds us that sometimes all it takes is one person or one activity to transform lives and offer glimpses of brighter futures for those who need it most.
