Samoa’s Palolo Worm Harvest | Next
Quote of the Week
You must feel an affinity for what you are photographing. You must be part of it, and yet remain sufficiently detached to see it objectively. Like watching from the audience a play you already know by heart.

Palolo worms, a local delicacy in Samoa, are harvested in October or early November, depending on when they spawn. Serious connoisseurs eat them as soon as they catch them; others bake them in loaves with coconut and onions or fry them in oil. Magnum photographer Alex Webb explored the harvest in 2000.
