Duck farmer, Kerala Backwaters, India, 2008

Imagine my surprise when a fellow paddled by our boat accompanied by a thousand or more ducks! This image is made incongruous by such juxtaposition in this image. The ducks can’t fly away – their wings are clipped. All they can do is futilely paddle their own way to market, while a man with his own paddle herds them along.

Just another man and his flock, Jenene -- only this flock is floating.

You mean like lemmings they follow him to their death? I guess it's no different than the shepherd or the ranch hand.
