Let This Remain
A fishing boat cuts through the water around the Tasman Peninsula
A journey of a thousand leagues to find
A place untouched by time and pain
Where all my memories that have gone before
Run fast and thick through the rivers of my mind
And so I dive deep and drink it in
Quenching this thirst that’s overtaken me
And I hold on so incredibly tight
Not wanting these memories to vanish
Into the deepest darkest part of night
Because all I want is for this to remain
Please let this remain
This fishing boat was slowly crawling back towards port, and I loved the simplicity of it cutting through the textured water.
With this photo I tried to capture the sense of isolation they must feel sometimes; to try and evoke the feelings of these fishermen being out on the water all day surrounded by nothing but a carpet of water and overwhelmed by the endless depths of the ocean.
