Gathering together after a day of toil, fishermen share the bounty of their labor with a joyous feast by the shore. Amidst laughter and camaraderie, they celebrate not just the harvest of the ocean but the bonds that unite them as a community

Finn Slough is a tiny Fraser River fishing community located at the south end of No. 4 Road in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. The community has approximately 30 residents who live in wooden houses, both floating and built on stilts, along the marshy river bank. Many of the buildings were built between the late 19th century and 1950s and many have decayed severely, while some have been carefully restored. Finn Slough was founded by Finnish settlers who came to Richmond in the 1880s. Most of these residents made a good living from fishing and became local landowners.
The sleepy and decaying village of Finn Slough has been repeatedly photographed, and it appears on numerous postcards sold throughout Vancouver tourist shops.

Naff River originated in Arakan hills, Myanmar and becomes an only international river between Bangladesh and Myanmar at its lower part and finally flows into the Bay of Bengal. Its extended estuary (depth between 39 and 120 meters and width varies between 1600 and 3200 meters) is influenced by tidal activity. Local duellers from both countries use to catch fish and do other economic activities on this river on a regular basis.
Naff River has witnessed the torture, murder and violence against adolescent girls and women of Rohingya Muslim ethnic minority. It has also witnessed many incidents in which local duellers lost their lives and by the member of Myanmar armed forces and border guards. August 2017 crackdown by the Myanmar military and local authorities resulted 950,000 refugees to Bangladesh.
Rohingya people from the small cottage by the bank of Naff in were desperate to save their lives from gun, machete, flame of fire and sexual abuse. Thousands get into boats, moon boats, makeshift boats using wood plank and banana trunk, many try to be crossing the massive river by swimming. Many of those are overloaded, there have been accidents and families with young children, elderly and sick member lost their loved ones during crossing.
True impact in Rakhine state can only be seen from the satellite images which reveal scale of destruction on the Rohingya villages in Myanmar. After all the destruction and burning of the villages, later Myanmar authorities also bulldozed Rohingya villages which left no place for Rohingyas to return their homes.
Peace loving Rohingya people have overwhelming desire to return to Myanmar as soon as possible (70% Rohingya families think this way) given that Myanmar government grant their citizenship and recognize Rohingya ethnicity, prosecution of perpetrators, provision of citizen’s service to the Rohingya population, full halting of violence. Broadening socio-economic opportunities for Rohingya population. Reestablishment of normal political, economic and social life along with deployment of United Nations peace force as additional security (Habib et al 2018). Over 96% Rohingya demanded recognition of Rohingya ethnicity of citizenship by the Myanmar government as a precondition for their repatriation to Myanmar (Habib et al 2018). Bangladesh governments repatriation attempt failed as policy makers failed recognize this research findings. Two year after the genocide on the genocide recognition day hundreds of thousand Rohingya gathered together demanding repatriation. That is clearly indicating there is there is a demand for citizenship, Rohingyas now building pressure on justice and repatriation.

On Dyke Road, on the southern tip of Richmond, is an old Scandinavian fishing village called Finn Slough, dating back about 100 years. A lot of the old buildings here are still being inhabited, and the current residents are really putting a lot of effort into fixing their places up. This is Dinner Plate Island School, and is probably my favourite house there. This is a long exposure, taken at around midnight. It took me 7 shots to get the focus just right.
