Tamsui River – The Returning Fishermen

The 1946 photo is part of Huang Tse-hsiu's ?"Ripples on the Tamsui River"? series. The photographer framed the scene at a spot where intense sunlight reflects on the water's surface, silhouetting the subjects: A boatman stands on a deck of a boat; below him, only partly visible, are four small boats, docked on the riverbank. Huang often silhouetted his subjects in this series.?
