You can never be too young to fish! That surely must be the motto of the Bajau tribe of Borneo. This remote tribe rely totally on the water to live. Traditionally they used to reside on small boats, traveling night and day entirely dependent on their fish-catching skills for survival. This is how they became known as the 'Sea Gypsies'. Today, the Bajau live either in floating villages built over coral reefs or on tiny islands, where they sell their fish on a small scale. Rehahn is a French photographer who spent several days with the Bajau of Borneo. Check out his amazing photographs below!
