Ambonese Fisherman

Posted by Ekaputra Tupamahu (Malang, Indonesia) on 21 June 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

Because Ambon is a small island, people eat fish everyday there. Everytime you go to Ambonese houses, people will offer you fish to eat. They fry it, boil it, BBQ it, etc. For this reason, some people do fishing for living. These fishermen either eat the fish they get at home or sell it in the market. Anyway, I took this picture while we were crossing from Poka to Galala by ferry service. I was interested in this guy because he seemed so serious doing his thing. Maybe it is because the lives of his family significantly depend on him. :-)
