A shirtless man in white swim trunks and a captain's hat stands at the bow of a wooden boat on Long Island, New York, in 1948. He struggles to reel in a fish, his body tensed as he grips the fishing rod against the pull of the line. The British flag flutters on a pole beside him, and the calm blue water stretches behind. Shot on 8mm film, this vintage home movie captures a moment of classic American summer recreation with authentic grain and color saturation.
