“He was unheeded, happy, and near to the wild heart of life. He was alone and young and wilful and wildhearted, alone amid a waste of wild air and brackish waters and the seaharvest of shells and tangle and veiled grey sunlight.” ― Jon Krakauer
I reborn. Born to be wild.
Humans have been hunters ever since humanity made their first tool. Mankind's desire has pushed the hunt towards new heights, new depths and from the closest to the furthest places. A new season is around the corner and humanity will be busy again.

A young man wades through the shallow coastal waters of Tagbilaran, Visayas, Philippines, foraging for shellfish, lobsters, crabs, sea urchins, mollusks, and even octopus—a traditional practice in many coastal communities. With only a bucket and his bare hands, he searches the rocky seabed for sustenance, embodying a way of life that has existed for generations. The monochrome tones highlight the solitude, resilience, and deep connection between humanity and the ocean, making this a powerful visual story of survival and tradition.
Gathering together after a day of toil, fishermen share the bounty of their labor with a joyous feast by the shore. Amidst laughter and camaraderie, they celebrate not just the harvest of the ocean but the bonds that unite them as a community
“He was alone. He was unheeded, happy, and near to the wild heart of life. He was alone and young and wilful and wildhearted, alone amid a waste of wild air and brackish waters and the seaharvest of shells and tangle and veiled grey sunlight.”

As the air temperature soared towards the middle of the day and the sea mist began to ease this familiar old boat turned and headed off.
It had been taking its harvest of seaweed all morning.
We retreated from the heat for home, lunch and a sweltering afternoon.

"Il était seul, méconnu, heureux, et proche du coeur sauvage de la vie. Il était seul, jeune, obstiné, libre, seul dans un désert chargé d'air vif et d'eau saumâtre, parmi la moisson marine des coquillages et des algues, dans la lumière gris pâle du soleil."
"He was alone. He was unheeded, happy, and near to the wild heart of life. He was alone and young and wilful and wildhearted, alone amid a waste of wild air and brackish waters and the seaharvest of shells and tangle and veiled grey sunlight."
James Joyce
