Sunrise Fishing the Traditional Way, Quriat, Oman
I don't like to get up early, but one weekend morning I decided to drive to the coastal village of Quriat to photograph at sunrise. I took some shots of the village, and then a fisherman paddled by in a traditional wood fishing boat. I couldn't pass up that shot... Some time later the daughter of one of my friends made a pencil drawing of this and gave it to me. I framed it and still have it hanging in my house.
When I retuned to visit Oman in 2005, an artificial harbor had been constructed at this spot and it was filled with new fiberglass fishing boats. Progress, for sure, but sometimes I like the old way... Scanned Velvia slide from my archives.
