EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented Gordon Parks in 1943, takes us back to the bustling Fulton fish market in New York City. The image showcases a man engaged in what appears to be the essential task of watering fish with brine water. As he stands on the dock surrounded by barrels filled with seafood, his focused expression hints at his dedication to ensuring that these precious catches remain fresh. The composition exudes a sense of timelessness, transporting us to an era when this vibrant marketplace was at its peak. The film negative adds depth and texture to the photograph, emphasizing every detail from the worn wooden planks beneath their feet to the glistening scales of the fish. Parks' masterful use of photography captures not only a moment frozen in time but also tells a larger story about American history. This image is part of Parks' extensive body of work for various government agencies during World War II, such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI). Through his lens, he documented everyday life across America while highlighting important aspects like food production and trade. As we gaze upon this remarkable still image today, we are reminded of both our nation's rich heritage and Parks' extraordinary talent for capturing poignant moments that transcend time.
