Wild Oyster Harvest - Julia Cumes - Wellfleet, Cape Cod
I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Sonya while working on a project about Cape Cod’s female wild oyster harvesters. The work of a wild oyster harvester is physically demanding and dependent on tides and weather. “Every day is an adventure and everything is constantly shifting,” Sonya told me during our shoot. Her transition from shellfish grants to wild harvesting was sparked by a profound moment under a full moon. Walking through the waves, bathed in moonlight, she said she felt an indescribable connection to nature. I was so struck by her words and the deep bond she shares with the ocean she relies on.
Note cards are printed personally in Robert Manz Studio, folded, inserted in a clear plastic sleeve, along with a quality cream-colored envelope. The card is blank inside and has the location information printed on the back.
The sizes available are 4”x6” and 5”x7” folded.
You can choose coated card stock or rag paper.
