Egrets Wait for Fishermen, Caribbean Coast

I am a...
Professional/Serious Amateur

Photograph Description
The traditional Black Carib fishermen of the Guatemalan Coast learn to fish, process and sell fish at a very early age. They ride the ocean waves in canoes without a motor, and use a block of wood with fishing line wound around it, as they can't afford fishing poles. Flocks of egrets and pelicans congregate on shore when they bring the boats in.

If accepted, I will submit an 11x 14 print.

Livingston, Guatemala
