EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the sun-kissed plains of Konya, Turkey, in the heart of the Nineties, a carter takes a moment of respite from his laborious toil. With the shimmering waters of Lake Aksehir stretching out before him, he leads his weary workhorse towards the refreshing shallows for a much-needed drink. The horse, its coat glistening with sweat, paddles gently at the water's edge, quenching its thirst as its master looks on with a sense of satisfaction and contentment. The scene is one of simple, rural life, untouched by the modern world. The carter, dressed in traditional attire, stands steadfastly by the horse's side, his weathered face etched with the lines of a life lived close to the land. The horse, harnessed to the wooden cart or wagon, has labored faithfully by his side, carrying goods from one place to another, and now it is time for both man and beast to be rewarded. The cool, fresh water of the lake provides a welcome relief from the heat of the day, and the gentle lapping of the waves against the shore adds to the tranquil atmosphere. The peaceful scene is a testament to the enduring bond between man and horse, and the importance of taking time to care for one another, even in the midst of hard work. This photograph, taken in 1992, captures a moment of quiet beauty and connection in the daily life of a Turkish carter, and serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures that can be found in the natural world.
