Description
ABOUT THE BOOK
Maktak and Gasoline documents the small community of whalers in Point Hope, an Inuit settlement in Alaska. The fact that photographer Ellis Doeven found love there – she had a child with the local whaler Othniel Art Oomittuk Jr. – is perhaps the reason why the portrait of the community in the harsh Arctic environment has become so loving and warm, without any sentimentality.
