Net-mending on Arwad

One of my favourite pre-digital diptychs, completely enhancement free. The predominant colours of the island in 1993 were shades of blue.

A fisherman is bent over his net, mending it in preparation for tomorrow’s fishing expedition into the Mediterranean. His head face and arms are deeply tanned from the sun and the sun‘s reflection off the water. I don’t think he was terribly pleased with me taking a picture of him at work. He was/is a human being and not a mere tourist attraction. The blue fishing net is neatly arranged over the back of a wooden chair. The bright red floats are clustered together in an unconsciously attractive pattern. The colour is important for visibility in the water. Their shades of red are pale imitations of the red brown of the fisherman’s skin.
