#Repost @avauntmag with @repostapp・・・UP CLOSE: Boxing by @lucajsage – This ‘David and Goliath’ bout was nothing short of extraordinary and unforgettable. No glitz, no glamour; just pain and passion. This is street fighting in Bukom, Ghana – a small, poor fishing village renowned for its remarkable ability to produce world champion boxers. Fighting has always been revered and embedded in their culture – arguments are simply settled with a fight. Photographing inside the ‘ring’ dictated a completely different approach compared to my normal slow, meditative, large-format portraiture. There’s nothing quite like having two rampaging boxers wielding battered, heavy, leather gloves, inches from your lens, to make you ‘float like a butterfly’. Be under no illusion, these fights are for real; the thwacks of the punches still echo in my memory.

‘Patrick’ 2013. I met Patrick in Accra a week before he was due to leave for a fight in London. He’d trained hard for three months and I had total respect for the way he’d committed and conducted himself over that time. He was in prime shape for the fight and I’m absolutely sure he would have won…if his visa application had not be turned down. I felt so bad for him when he found out, all that effort and money for nothing. The remarkable aspect about Patrick was his calmness throughout, an aspect that not many would attribute to a boxers mentality.

Love this boy
Happy New Year from myself and Prince Douky! May you dance like you just don’t give a fuck, life’s too short for anything else. And if you try this move tonight, let me know how it goes #2017
Cheers for hanging out on Instagram. Apparently I posted 99 posts in 2016, I forgot to blog much on my website though #2016
“Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.” Hemingway. Hm, I was alone on this trip.
Happy Christmas!! Last shoots are finished and uploaded. Looking forward to 2017 with much anticipation

He always thought of the sea as ‘la mar’ which is what people call her in Spanish when they love her. Sometimes those who love her say bad things of her but they are always said as though she were a woman. Some of the younger fishermen, those who used buoys as floats for their lines and had motorboats, bought when the shark livers had brought much money, spoke of her as ‘el mar’ which is masculine.They spoke of her as a contestant or a place or even an enemy. But the old man always thought of her as feminine and as something that gave or withheld great favours, and if she did wild or wicked things it was because she could not help them. The moon affects her as it does a woman, he thought. Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea
