Generations: The Fishing Families of Hastings is a photographic portrayal from the 1990s to the present day of the men and women of Britain’s oldest beach-launched fishing community. Realised by the photojournalist and Hastings resident John Cole, the book portrays a unique community that may soon become extinct.Generations is in the tradition of such classic photojournalists as Sebastiao Salgado, Don McCullin and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Cole’s images document the passing of a way of working, of skills that have been handed down from generation to generation.
