The Dance of Fishermen and Seafood: At dawn, the fish market awakens. The air is thick with anticipation as fishermen unload their catch from vehicle. Their hands, calloused and skilled, deftly sort through silvery mackerels, crimson snappers, and iridescent squid. This photograph shows us the hustle and bustle of the market, the vibrant colors of the fish, and the interactions between the vendors and customers.
