Bronze Age Gold from Wales

Small boy dreams whilst sitting on the prow of a fishing boat drawn onto the beach. Dakar, Senegal

Written on the back of this work is: “I was wandering along a beach in West Africa at dusk when I spotted this lad on the boat, either dreaming or deep in thought. I managed to squeeze off a vertical frame without his being aware of me, just as a woman carrying a bowl walked past. I also shot a horizontal frame of the scene. I had been working in Africa and in those days, if we weren't returning to Europe immediately, we shipped the film back to Magnum in Paris. Of the two frames I made, the horizontal pic was edited, published and seen by many, but to this day, I still prefer the feeling in this vertical.” — Ian Berry
