Los Percebeiros de Laxe

Los Percebeiros de Laxe

Just a little preview of Punto14's upcoming project (photo series & short documentary).

In the small village of Laxe, located on the Northwest coast of Galicia (called Costa da Morte, Coast of Death), a small group of fishermen (40 men and 1 woman) dedicate their lives to hunting Percebes (Goose Barnacles), Spain's most expensive and sought after shellfish. These are probably the world's most at-risk seafood gatherers as due to the percebe's need for oxygen the highest quality ones grow on the most dangerous places and are most profitably harvested in the winter, when the supply is limited by the risks involved. This is the story of a few of these percebeiros during the month of December, the most crucial of the year for them. As Christmas approaches, prices get higher (a kg could be sold up to 180 euros) and higher as well as the waves they have to face daily.

Chasing the dream: Pepe Larraz

Chasing the dream: Pepe Larraz

Second subject of my personal work "Chasing the dream".
What's the meaning of chasing your dream? What sacrifices are we willing to make to convert it into reality?
This is about Pepe Larraz, a fantastic illustrator from Madrid who works for MARVEL.
