We are proud to announce our coopereation with the Wild Image Project, a longterm photography and filming expedition to high latitude destionations. Over the coming two years, Sally Lightfoot and the Wild Image Project team will work together to develop and build a Long Tall Sally like expedition vessel, catering for the specific needs the team will have. The vessel has been given a name: Wild Sally.
Explorer/photographer, Daniel Fox follows in the footsteps of his childhood heroes, David Attenborough and Jacques Cousteau, navigating the waters of Earth’s remote places. His lifelong passion for adventure and nature, and his commitment to inspire change and improving lives have led him to create the Wild Image Project, with the mission to motivate others to alter their perspective on global issues by aesthetically presenting information and ideas that stimulate engagement, involvement and transformation.
The moment Daniel, searching for his ideal expedition platform, got introduced to the Long Tall Sally expedition vessel concept he realised he had met his future means of transportation, house and workstudio. He got in touch with us through a brief email: ’I am interested in Long Tall Sally but I am afraid I can’t be part of a team of co-owners. Is Long Tall Sally for sale? Could I charter her for say five years?’ After having gotten acquainted a bit more thoroughly we agreed our cooperation would make a perfect fit. Through our joint venture we have taken a giant step towards making a mutual dream come true.
In 2012 Wild Sally should be on her way mostly to islands and far lands: Falklands Islands, Tristan da Cunha, St-Helena, Ascencsion, South Georgia, Antarctica, Bouvets, Prince Edward Islands, Crozets, Kerguelen, Heards, Australia, Aucklands, New Zealand, Chatham, Kermadec, Ogasawaras, Japan, Kurils, Aleutians, Alaska, Arctic.
Daniel Fox:
‘Wild Sally is more than an expedition vessel. It is a vision, a mind set, a way of living – a standard in expedition! Edo Ankum and his team exemplify exactly the spirit of what the Wild Image Project stands for.’
