One hungry boy










Thom Hunt, one of the 3 Hungry Boys featured on Channel 4 a few years ago, now lives in an ancient charcoal burner's cottage in Cornwall. Not quite off grid (it does have electricity) but certainly off road, we had to carry the gear for 15 minutes across very muddy fields to reach the location. I was shooting for Macmillan Cancer Support as Thom is a Cancer Voice having suffered from colon cancer at the age of 27. He's an amazing guy and meeting him has certainly been a highlight of the year so far. He's created a unique lifestyle, running courses in wild foods and outdoor adventure which also encourage time to think and experience the great location on the banks of the Fal estuary. He share this with many friends, who came and went continuously while I was there, but also seems to relish the solitude.
