Would All Fishermen Have the Wisdom of the Mexican Fisherman? – Los Angeles Fine Art Photographer

Have you heard of the story of the Mexican fisherman?  In this story, an executive from America had a much grander plan for the fisherman.  The problem is that according to the plan, the fisherman would find himself where he already was, after 15-20 years of “mad rat race” (my own opinion :-)).  If you haven’t, you can read it here.

On my recent trip to Xingping (兴坪), China, a small fishing village near Yangshuo (阳朔), I met one fisherman.  As tourism is quickly changing the world, such little gem tucked in a corner can not escape.  Would people there have the wisdom to see what the Mexican fisherman saw?

It took me 16 years in “the America” to finally quit the rat race.  Places as depicted in this image are still beautiful to me.  Do people there see what I see?  I mean, what kind of life would you choose – mad (rat race) vs. peaceful?

 P.S. You know how to find me, if you’d like any of my fine art photography to decorate your home or office. 🙂
