One Trip Home.
On one of our trips home this week, the boatmen offered to show us some of their dinner for the night, caught fresh from the sea as they were waiting for us to finish our work of filming on the shore.
Here’s me shooting the shark that was caught. Looks nice and dry doesn’t it? It WASN’T. This was being filmed in driving rain.
Here’s the rest of the crew, nice and dry and oh-so-comfortable assisting me by providing moral support and eye power.
The boatmen’s dinner. The other fish is a toadfish, which I didn’t bother to shoot because we’ve managed to find it elsewhere, and in more natural surroundings than a blue bucket. Unlike certain cultures, the boatmen who are Malays, told us that they would be eating the whole shark, instead of just the fins. We were told that the shark would be cooked in lemak or in curry. It had not been decided yet at that point.
This illustrates a point: Take what you need from Nature, and use what you take.
