In today's photo, two fishermen play the waiting game shortly after sunrise somewhere near Kota Kinabalu.
I've no idea what they were waiting for – maybe for the tide to turn or the breeze to die down or something.
It seems somewhat idyllic, just sitting on a boat moving gently with the swell, just passing the day. I've no photo of them actually fishing so I guess I moved on before whatever event they were waiting on occurred. My guess is that these two fishermen are enjoying the calm before the storm, so to speak. I'm sure that once it was time to cast their nets they'd be pretty busy. I also suspect it was a pretty challenging way to earn a living.
Yes, if you teach a man to fish he can feed himself for life (or until the waters are fished out) but I doubt these guys were ever going to have enough spare cash to spend the night in the hotel I was staying at. And maybe they'd never want to but I believe people generally prefer more to less and easier to harder, all other things being equal.
