This fisherman is fishing from a rock jetty, rather than a stable pier. The waves are churning only inches below him, as he carefully threads his way, step by step, over the slippery rocks beneath his sandals. It is after sunset, and he is still at his task, doing it from a place that tests his balance and skill. My image of him expresses solitude, grit, persistence, and risk – all readily understandable human values.
