A Dawn in 1950

There may be many similarities between dawn then and dawn now, but the dissimilarities are countless, and in some old-fashioned opinions, worthless.

The strength of this picture, as far as I am concerned, lies in my having caught the bird as it took to flight. This lent the picture a momentum: the bird in flight, the fisherman pushing the boat, the sea surging.



Ennore, Tamil Nadu, 1950

However ancient it may be,
for some old fashioned viewers a dawn captured by a questing adolescent is timelessly priceless.

A classic.
thank you.
