The jumble of a traditional fishing boat is a collage that provides me with a fascinating visual and emotional puzzle.
Each fishing vessel seems to contain the unique personality of its skipper and crew. The rigging, the mechanics, the apparent chaos of operating a daily/nightly hunt at sea are all on show.
There is a sense of tradition but also the urgency of making a livelihood, and clearly a passion for maritime life among the families working from the Sydney fishmarket docks.
