The Shortlist of the Alfred Fried Photography Award 2014
Waldmonde
They live like Hunters and Gatherers. They live off the grid. They practice bow shooting, use the bow drill to start a fire and they receive their food, clothes and medicine from plants and animals. They live in the wilderness and they live off the land.
With the Teaching Drum Outdoor School, Tamarack created a space where people are helped to connect to the earth, learn ancient skills and traditional ways of living, based on the traditions of the Ojibwe - people. They attune their senses and awake their intuitive abilities. They relearn to speak from the heart, rather than the ego. This series of pictures is about those people, who decided to live in this environment in order to focus on a simple life in accordance with nature, instead of putting their effort in a way of living, that is led by consumption and materialism.
