EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Michael Runkel/Robert Harding captures the essence of childhood innocence and resourcefulness in Kolkata, India. In this image, a group of young boys can be seen fishing for metal coins in the Howrah River. Located in West Bengal, Kolkata is known for its vibrant culture and bustling streets. The Howrah River serves as a lifeline to the city, providing sustenance and livelihood to many residents. These young boys have found an unconventional way to make a living by using magnets to attract metal coins from the riverbed. Their determination and camaraderie are evident as they work together towards their common goal. With their bare feet immersed in the water, these teenage boys patiently navigate through the currents, hoping for a successful catch. The colors of this photograph beautifully depict the vibrancy of Indian life - from the vivid blue waters of the river to their brightly colored clothing. It is a snapshot that encapsulates both poverty and resilience; showcasing how even under challenging circumstances, people find ways to survive and support one another. This image transports us into an unfamiliar world where everyday activities take on new meaning. It reminds us that there is beauty in simplicity and teaches us about human adaptability amidst adversity. Through photography like this, we gain insight into different cultures while appreciating our shared humanity across continents.
