Now published in a special anniversary edition. The photos included in this book were taken in the course of 2022 — the 150th rowing season in Latvia.

Over the course of one season Gatis Rozenfelds has captured the everyday and unique moments of the Latvian rowing community. The photo story created for the book highlights the power of rowing traditions and the strength and fragility of our current and future athletes. Its narrative is shaped by a constant change of pace and perspective, highlighting the relationship between the physical body and nature. 

Rowing is a story about the unifying element of generations, winning and losing, pain and balance, teammates and lifelong friendships, belonging, nature and its cycles, rhythm, body aesthetics and athleticism, struggles and competition, setting goals and consciously achieving them. Rowing as a life-guiding power.

The photo serves as lasting evidence of a golden moment that would otherwise have been lost. Great Gift to everyone!
