Powerful abstraction and diagonal composition turns a mundane task into a heroic image. This fisherman is moving hundreds of tuna from the depths of a fishing boat to the bed of a huge truck. He does it with a hoist, a net, and a lot of strength. As he pulls on the big net, he creates a diagonal thrust moving from the lower left hand corner of the picture into his hands. The hoist behind him is tilted at the same diagonal angle, creating a rhythmic, repetitive flow of line that glues this picture together. In between, we see the shining tails of abstracted fish, giving context and meaning to the picture. But the core of the image is the man himself. My low vantage point has thrust his abstracted body against the evening sky. His bent leg echoes the diagonal lines of both net and hoist. Much is left to the imagination of the viewer. How does he feel about what he doing? What does he look like? How many fish are there? It is a photograph that asks questions and invites viewers to answer them with their own imaginations.
