Did the photographer come up with the idea of celebrating the birthday like this on the boat? Did he insist on the pinata? Did he insist the fisherman whack the pinata over rolling seas slip sliding over ice? There are two answers possible. If the answer is yes, then I think the photographer deserves credit for thinking up a moment that shows us our own humanity. Yet, I am not a big fan of posed photos. But that is just my own taste. If the answer is no, then I think apart from the technical skill involved in taking the photo and having the wisdom of being on the boat in the first place, neither of which is the chief ingredient that makes the photo interesting, the photographer has not added much to the photo. I suspect the answer to be the latter. I am completely stunned by the magazine writer's misallocation of credit.

Oh, also the hanging fish in the Fish-Work Norway series. Absolutely adore all the fishing photos…especially the pinata shot! Oh, also the hanging fish in the Fish-Work Norway series.
