Contact Sheet Print: Tiniteqilaaq, Greenland, 1999-2002. No. 2

James, a fisherman Inuit who welcomed him into his home and taught him to survive in Greenland, where he lived for three years when he was younger, working as a fisherman and photographing the daily life of the citizens in Tiniteqilaaq. Jacob lost his father at a very young age. It was a shock. It took him years to recover. Before he died, his father gave him a beautiful book about Greenland and the people who inhabited it. Perhaps this is why he discovered such a symbolic place for him. There, the meeting with James marked his future. He hosted him in his home. Jacob found a sense of family there. James taught him how to hunt and fish to provide for his family. He taught him when to speak and when to be silent. How to be present. “For the years I was in Tiniteqilaaq, James's house felt like the center of the universe. It was a house full of laughter, tears, and silence. A place of warmth and embrace. Today the house is empty...” recalls Sobol. He was like a father to him. Jacob is a father too, today.
