Fine art photographer Edward Fielding recently sold a 18″ x 24″ framed print of Row Row Row Your Boat Life Is But A Dream to a buyer from Thornton, PA.
Row Row Row Your Boat Life Is But A Dream is a fine art photograph captured in a fishing villiage in remote Iceland.
Skiff or rowboats make stable, steady tenders for fishing from or using to travel to larger fishing vessels in a harbor. Rowboats, as opposed to canoes and kayaks, are propelled by oars that are held in place at a pivot point attached to the boat, the oarlocks (also called rowlocks). These pivot points do not change their position as the boat is rowed. This pivot point is a fulcrum if the oar is a lever.
Rowers typically face the stern of the boat. Various clever mechanisms have been tried to allow the rower to face forward but none so far have been widely adopted.
In the photograph, photographer Edward Fielding captures a scene of peaceful, calm, mirror like water in the harbor but commercial fishing can be highly dangerous if the conditions get rough as in the video below.
