The Journey of Tuna
52 images Created 20 Nov 2008
"The story of a Yellowfin tuna fish starts from the near-idyllic waters of the Maldives and the deck of a Dhoni fishing boat in the Indian ocean. Its travels continue through local processing factories, an Airbus container and Heathrow cargo sheds before reaching the dinner plate one Friday night in England."
These 50 images come from the book The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work by Alain de Botton, published by Hamish Hamilton in April 2009.
This gallery is part of a short series relating to this book, though their titles have in some cases been adapted for this archive. They are viewed here as a showcase but will be released for sale on the 1st April 2009 at Photoshelter and Alamy or exclusively at CORBIS and therefore each file has its own restrictions which can be read within its metadata.
The book pictures are reproduced in black and white but all appear here in colour.
