Greek Fisherman Untangling Seine Net in São Paulo

Raindrops streak across a heavy grey seine net as a fisherman works on the wet concrete quay. The man wears a heavy wool sweater and a dark cap, his hands busy pulling tangled mesh apart. Water beads on the synthetic fibers, catching the soft, diffused light of an overcast midmorning. Behind him, the harbor holds still boats with rusted railings, while distant green trees mark the late spring season. Rain creates a rhythmic pattern on the dark pavement. The fisherman's focused posture anchors the composition against the vast, wet expanse of the harbor. One raindrop slides down the curve of a white plastic float resting on the ground.
