Fishermen
With the aim of reversing the current impoverished condition of marine life, the European Community is committed to a programme to help Ghanaian fishermen improve both their economic situation and their surroundings.
Beautiful photographic images – taken by other people – have always touched my heart. So, when I take beautiful ones, I enjoy sharing them.
Travel interests me very much, not as a holiday, but as a means of discovery and to learn. I have visited over a hundred different places, all with my camera, many on my motor bike.
I currently work with NGOs and non-profit organisations, volunteering my photography skills.

entry description
Being a fisherman in Elmina (Ghana) means exhausting work and only a few coins in one's pocket to show for it. The fish often fall below the minimum-size limit and thus do not have time to grow before being caught. Paradoxically, this means that the more fish they catch the poorer they will become over time.With the aim of reversing the current impoverished condition of marine life, the European Community is committed to a programme to help Ghanaian fishermen improve both their economic situation and their surroundings.
about the photographer
My passion is photography; my work is in another field although I often use my camera for my professional activities. I have been looking through a camera lens for about forty years, using it to concentrate what I find visually interesting. I use my eyes to observe, scrutinise, seize the moment and shoot. When I am lucky, I do it with the camera too.Beautiful photographic images – taken by other people – have always touched my heart. So, when I take beautiful ones, I enjoy sharing them.
