A 40 year resident of the Yukon, long time hunter and trapper, Cor Guimond, sets out every year to harvest a moose in the Yukon River and Sixty Mile River areas. It takes a day of travelling south along the Yukon River for about 50 km before arriving at the mouth of the Sixty Mile River. About 400 pounds of meat can be harvested from a 1000-pound bull and will feed his family for months to come.


Photographer Rafal Gerszak used his Rolleiflex 120 film TLR camera that dates back to 1954.
