RE: Fishing Port "Quarantine"
For me, fishing boats in Germany look like something which is vanishing behind the 'event horizon', and thus it feels comparable to your sadness.
But fishing boats in some other countries - where fishing is not yet industrialised - do not look in such a manner to and for me. As a still living element of culture and maybe flourishing part of economy, their look evokes good feelings.
I feel more sadness at the sight of old fishing boats, those weathered vessels that have been through so many storms, battered by waves, rain and wind, peeling and losing their original luster, even paint, but still alive, active, continuing. Continuing despite everything. They remind me especially of human life in general and photographing them is like photographing myself, and talking about them makes me want to cry.
