Robbie spends most of her days fishing with her mother. She belongs
to a semi-nomadic clan called the Tagbanua that fish and collect
honey in order to survive. Her large family had gathered for a 10-day
ritual honoring the one-year anniversary of her grandfather's death.
For nine days, they sang and prayed, and on the 10th-the actual
anniversary-they stayed up all night eating, singing and dancing.
I took this photograph the morning after the all-night celebration.
